Right Oblique	Right Elevation

The Imperial Tobacco Company Building was constructed between 1908 and 1913. At that time it was the largest redrying plant in Mullins. The Imperial Tobacco Company of Great Britain and Ireland, Inc. used its plant in Mullins to buy, dry, and export tobacco. As the oldest redrying plant in Mullins, the Imperial Tobacco Company is important for the role it played in the processing of tobacco in the area in the first half of the twentieth century. The original portion of this large, industrial, brick (common bond) building is a three-story block, with stepped parapets with tile coping on the front and rear elevations. The roof is flat with overhanging eaves with brackets. The arched double windows are four-over-four sash. Windows and loading bays are crowned by radiating voussoirs. A tower with battlements is attached to the right elevation. The building has ten additions of varying age. Listed in the National Register August 3, 1984.
