An inspiring place...

The Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library was built in 1960 by the Modern Construction Company of Terre Haute. This building played a vital role in Coca-Cola's history. In June 1915, Earl R. Dean and T. Clyde Edwards went to the Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library to research the ingredients of Coca-Cola. Dean was inspired by a picture of a gourd-shaped cocoa pod. His fascination led him to the creation of the iconic contour Coca-Cola bottle.
