In the 1940s, 124 S Granite Street emerged as one of downtown Prescott’s most important industrial sites when it became a Coca-Cola bottling plant, solidifying the city’s role in the region’s soft drink distribution network. Building on an earlier 7‑Up bottling plant and ice house they had operated on 6th Street, Samual and Edith Trengove, along with their son Kenyon, moved their bottling equipment and business to Granite Street in 1945, expanding into Coca‑Cola and related products while continuing to serve a growing Central Arizona market.
After Samual’s death, Edith and Kenyon carried the operation through the 1940s, with routes that reached communities from Prescott to Jerome and Camp Verde. Kenyon’s son Raymond later returned from San Francisco to help run and modernize the family enterprise, shifting some focus toward vending but maintaining the site’s identity as a beverage hub. Over time, the old bottling plant transitioned from industrial use to a series of local, community‑oriented businesses. The historic brick building became home to Wild Iris Coffee House, and later hosted Flying Leap Cellars’ Prescott tasting room, linking the address to Arizona’s evolving wine story.
Today, the tradition of Trengove family stewardship at 124 S Granite continues with Creekside 45 Wine Bar and Bistro, a modern expression of the property’s beverage‑centered legacy. Locally owned and operated by Mark and Louise Trengove, Creekside 45 honors the site’s history while reimagining it for Prescott’s contemporary food and wine scene. The bistro overlooks tree‑lined Granite Creek from a secluded patio and offers over 20 wines by the glass and more than 100 internationally sourced bottles to enjoy on site or to take home. In addition to local beer, cider, and thoughtful mocktails, the menu features rotating toastie sandwiches, bruschetta, cheese and charcuterie boards, and shareable small plates designed for lingering with friends. In this way, Creekside 45 carries the building’s bottling‑plant past into a new era of hospitality, preserving both place and family legacy in the heart of downtown Prescott.
