Here's a picture of the Biloxi Artesian Bottling Works building as it appeared in 1981. In was in 1981 that an application was filed to designate it a historic Biloxi, Mississippi landmark. The application was approved in 1983. Prior to 1981 the building was pretty much abandoned and boarded up and used for storage. When the 1981 application was filed the building was owned by Mrs. Edward C. Barq III. I'm not certain who owns it today, but it could still be owned by a member of the Barq family.
Notice ...
1. There is no writing on the building.
2. The double doors in front but no steps.
If it had steps they could have been removed - or else it was a loading dock.
3. The windows are boarded up.
4. No historic sign.
