I’ve photographed the interior of the famous 1891-2 brew house on the grounds of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, back in April of 2011 and then again in June of 2015. But I’d never done it at night, and it was interesting to capture the interior with only artificial light illuminating the mash tuns and brew kettles….

Prairie Line, Anheuser-Busch
I spotted this rare sight of a Prairie Line yard locomotive crossing South Broadway on a recent Saturday morning. Many people might remember that Anheuser-Busch once had its own short line railroad, the Manufacturers Railway, but InBev closed it. Apparently this railroad is now contracted to provide services that historic railroad once provided. The Lemp…
Barley Cleaning House, Anheuser-Busch, Revisited
I looked at the Barley Cleaning House all the way back in June of 2015, almost a full decade ago, but I was traveling up Sidney Street, and it was looking great in the morning sun. Looking closer at the two turrets, it looks like the bricks have bee relaid, and there is even on…
Lemp Brewery from the Air, 1930s
I really love this amazing aerial photograph of the Lemp Brewery, a decade after International Shoe had taken over. You can see how the shoe company had already added several floors onto a couple of buildings and altered the smokestack of the third boiler house or power plant to say ISCO. The railyard is still…
Other Fall Updates, Fires, Demolitions, Etc.
It finally happened, the Mullanphy Emigrant Home, which I last looked at back in June of this year, caught on fire and burned to the ground on the night of September 14th. There is certainly no grand conspiracy, but simply the fact that overnight lows reached 50 degrees, and a squatter’s fire probably spread out…
Bevo Bottling Plant, Morning Light
The Anheuser-Busch Brewery never ceases to be interesting to me, and on an early Saturday morning, I captured the Bevo Bottling Plant with the sun shining on it. As can be seen above, there was another building along Arsenal that is now gone; I suspect it was related to the logistics of shipping beer. The…
The Beauty of Dutchtown, Part 44: Virginia Avenue Between Taft and Osceola
This section of Virginia Avenue is one of the first I looked at, way back in February of 2011, when I was seeking out the Stork Inn, which I revisited again in May of 2014. I was saddened to see the two story house on the left on Idaho Avenue, which comes in at sharp…
The South Side, Quincy, Illinois
For the next several weeks, I’m going to be looking at the towns upriver from St. Louis on the Mississippi River, starting with Quincy, Illinois. It’s an interesting city, and in many ways, it is a small version of St. Louis. On the South side of the city, there is a German neighborhood, much like…
Busch Mausoleum, Autumn 2018
I experimented around with different vantage points of the Busch Mausoleum, which was looking resplendent in the autumn light at Bellefontaine Cemetery.
Old Shipping Office, Anheuser-Busch
As I’m sure some people might know, Broadway passes over a viaduct on the east side of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, as there are loading docks and tracks going into the massive Bevo Bottling Plant. To learn more about these subterranean places, read my article at St. Louis Magazine. But the ornamentation, on even a simple…
