Note |
Black and white photograph. Good condition. Printed clip stuck on verso "When Gottfried Krahenberg decided to build a brewery at Cinnabar st. and The Alameda in 1869, he inclined toward the archetectural styles of his German homeland." He started with a small brick structure on the north side of Cinnabar St., adding to it as business increased. By the 1890's, when this photo was taken, the firm had passed through several ownerships, and the brewery had external aspects of a huge German castle - "turrets, battlements 'n all." It even had its own railroad spur, coming in originally from the S.P.'s Coast line, half a mile to the east. On rebuilding after a disastrous fire in 1902, much of the earlier architectural ornament gave way to a simpler form. The structure itself, however, remained "the biggest pile of bricks in town." Only two words were necessary to identify it: The Fredericksburg. |
