Monroe County Inquiry:
| Q. | I am doing some research about the Key West Coca Cola bottling plant and can not find any info. Do you know where I could find out when it opened, is it still operating and if not, when did it quit, and is the building still there? Thank you for any help you can give me. | | A. | We were not aware of the plant, so we went to two sources. Coca-Cola Historical Center in Atlanta and the Key West Art & Historical Society (KWAHS). Neither had any information at the ready on this operation. One Key West company, Blond Giraffe Key Lime Factory (305.293.9296) advertise they are located in the Historic Key West Coca-Cola Bottling Plant. They might be a good source of information. Norman Aberle, the curator for KWAHS also thought Tom Hambright at the Monroe County Library (305.292.3595) might be a good source. Let us know what you discover in your research.
