History and architectural features
The original section of this historic structure, which was built in 1891, consisted of a brewhouse with grain tower, racking room, filter room, and keg wash room. Later additions include the storage cellar, keg receiving and storage rooms (1933, later demolished), and rathskeller (1936). The complex was made of brick, using Germanesque-Teutonic-style influences. A brewery that was sited here as early as 1855 was established by J. Henry Kalvelage.[3] The Eagle Brewery merged into the Erie Brewing Company in 1899. The Erie Brewing Company closed in 1978.[4]
