Placerville Soda Works (#1175)

A quite historic building that stands out when you’re entering Placerville from the east. The building was built in 2 stages, the lower portion in 1859 and then the second story was added in 1897. From the description in the link below, it sounds as if the building would make an interesting exhibit on ingenuity (a water elevator) and the history of ice provision developing into soda works.
