 Brewer/bottler #6274 | | | Name | Seven-Up Bottling Co. (Bakersfield, CA) |
| | | | State/Province | California |
| | | | | | Extra info | This distinctive edifice, with its three-story spire topped with a rotating 7-Up logo, was a popular place. The 7-Up building, widely believed to have been built in 1934, was a popular vantage point for the city’s annual Christmas parade. People would beg to go inside the building and take in the view.
The rotating sign, built by Bakersfield Neon, spun with an electric motor connected to a differential from a 1944 Ford. When the original part ceased to function, the whole thing ground to a permanent stop, and replacement parts couldn’t be located.
Many longtime Bakersfield residents will remember touring the soft-drink bottling operation as a Cub Scout or elementary school student. The management would give each kid a seven-ounce bottle of soda and a little paper hat. |
