American Brewery Cold Storage & Dixie Hotel Near Girard St.


Recommended Posts

Was the Busch family really involved with this brewery?  Edit: Adolphus Busch out of St. Louis built a brewery here and was President of the company. I wonder if Budweiser had a brewery in Houston in the late 1800s? I know Bud Light is here over off Interstate 10 at 775 Gellhorn Drive.

Said to be located 2d between Railroad and Girard.  Or, opposite Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad Depot.

The hotel was to fit 20 rooms for operatives of the brewery.  Actually a great idea! I wonder if the employees paid for their rooms?

The Houston-based architect Olle Lorehn was the architect for this building.
