Original Description:
In 1890, Joseph Biedenharn and his father, Herman, built a 2 story building at 1107 Washington St, in Vicksburg, Mississippi. It served as their wholesale candy company on one side, and a shoe store on the other. Today, this building serves as a museum. This was the first place where Coca Cola was bottled in 1894. The business was called the "Biedenharn Candy Co.". This was mainly a water bottling business, bottling flavors, as well as the new Coca Cola drink.
