From bottles to ballots Supervisor of Elections office resides in the former Coca-Cola plant Before it was the Supervisor of Elections office, 112 N. Apopka Ave. in downtown Inverness was the site of one of the last privately owned Coca-Cola bottling plants. And it was part of Inverness native Claire Jenkins’ childhood. “My grandparents came here from South Carolina and started the Coke plant,” Mrs. Jenkins said. Her grandfather, W.T. Baxley, and his wife, Pearl, came to Citrus County and started a tiny bottling plant in Hernando in 1906. “I remember Mama telling me that they’d wash the bottles in the lake,” Mrs. Jenkins said. chronicleonline/content/bottles-ballots?pc=1 #oldbuildings
