Lemp Avenue Across from the Lemp Brewery

Heading north from South Broadway is an interesting row of buildings, starting first with this building that now houses the music venue Off Broadway. There is an anachronistic Lemp Beer sign on the south side of the building. I actually looked at the house below before in April of 2022.

Next is a large black asphalt expanse, which used to be the playground for the school behind it. But if you were to go back in history, it would have been a cemetery.

As can be seen on the middle left, there was a German Evangelisch Cemetery. Also, there was a Union Army fort just to the north (right) of the cemetery.
