Southern Biscuit Company, also known as Interbake Foods, Inc. and Famous Foods of Virginia (FFV), is a historic factory building located in Richmond, Virginia. The original section was built in 1927, and is a six-story, reinforced concrete building. It was subsequently expanded four times through 1951. The building features a water tower and distinctive roof-top sign. The sign has three rows of letters spelling "HOME OF", "FFV", and "COOKIES AND CRACKERS". The facility closed in 2006.[3]
A 2014 renovation transformed the factory into a 178-unit apartment building. The Cookie Factory Lofts complex covers 240000ft2 and incorporates unique features of the former bakery.[4]
The Southern Biscuit Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.[2]
