Lemp Brewery
St. Louis, MO - maybetoday - Friday, April 20th, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
Because of the growth of the Lemp family's brewery which began in 1840, William Lemp built the giant Lemp Brewery in 1864 spanning five city blocks. Below it was a large, natural cave system used to keep the beer at just the right temperature. Not long after, Lemp was known as the largest brewery in St. Louis. By the turn of the century, the Lemp family's fortune began to dwindle until the Lemp Brewery was closed by the Prohibition in 1919. The brewery was later sold to International Shoe Company for a little over a half million dollars.
While some buildings in the Lemp complex are housing offices and industrial uses, the brewery itself is waiting to be brought back to life. These photos were taken at the corner of Cherokee and Lemp in the Benton Park neighborhood of St. Louis.

I'd like to see more of St. Louis. I'm sure not all of the city is quite as clean cut as your photos portray. That's not to say i haven't enjoyed them though. Let's see more.

All of St. Louis isn't as clean cut as these pictures show. I've only started taking my camera around as I walk through the City recently and these are the first places I've been photographing. Benton Park, for example, took a long time to look as clean and vibrant as it does today. What started in the late 70's as a community organization of new and old residents rehabbing buildings and caring for the neighborhood has gotten the attention of developers and we're now seeing some great infill filling in the few gaps in the streetscape (fortunately, Benton Park didn't have the level of demolition as many other St. Louis neighborhoods). When I'm in Old North St. Louis, I'll be able to photograph the massive decay and abandonment as well as the excellent transformation-in-progress by the ONSL Restoration Group and its community.
