Built for a prominent German-American brewer, these two remaining
buildings illustrate the dramatic shift in architectural taste that
occurred at the turn of the century. The brewery's administration
building, constructed in 1886, is a good illustration of the ornate
designs of the late-Victorian era. The powerhouse, which was constructed
in 1902 in a Prairie School-style, is less picturesque, relying instead
on the bold organization of its facades and ornamental brickwork for its
visual impact.
