B is for Brewery District

I have featured this building before. It is the old Edmonton Brewery and Malting Co. It was built in1921. It has been shut down for sometime now and only this original section of the building is left.
The good news is that there are plans to restore it and build new buildings around it for restaurants and retail outlets. It is slated to open in 2015.

Lovely old brick!

[Cathie]

Great old building, Brian. I'm always pleased to hear when an old building is saved!

[Allison Williams]

That is what is happening in Richmond. They just completed the renovation of a industrial complex where Girl Scout cookies and crackers were baked. They are calling the 178 industrial chic apartments "Cookie Factory Lofts"!

[Paula McLaughlin]

Great looking old building--cool shot!

[Khawbecker]

It's great that they are planning to renovate this building and use it for a new purpose. In my home town in Iowa they did that with an old local brewery building. It now has wonderful restaurants in it. Great capture for comparison with the new version once it's complete.

[Liane]

great shot

[KWind]

Nice textures.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great shot of the vintage building and it's good to hear that they are going to restore it.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Good shot- but it looks like they have a lot of work to do!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Wonder if they will eventually turn it into something?

[Jane Anderson]

I love to see old buildings restored and re-purposed. This one will be a treasure.

[Michael Smith]

A grand old brewery! +fav

[Anita Campbell]

Awesome. That's what they should do with more old buildings....

[Gena Pegg]

Glad to hear that it will be saved ....nice capture of it.

[Peggy Scroggins]

Love this POV. Looks like some parts of St. Louis, Mo.

[Krista Marson]

I'm such a sucker for industrial shots like this. Well done :)

[Diana]

You will have to take photos then to see the new renovations! Glad they are keeping the building for heritage sake.

[Tony]

Be interesting to watch the development.

[Susan C Clow]

Great shot of the old building which looks lovely and glad they are keeping it up and building around it and it will all look great. Be sure and post in the future what it looks like when they are done. I know that is awhile off but would be fun to see.

[Graham Thresher]

It looks like it's a little rough around the edges. Nice scene though.

Great capture of this interesting old building.

Nice shot. I like abandoned buildings.

I like the stepping effect, looks like it would make lovely apartments

[Terry]

Great shot, looks like a Brewery

[Bev]

Nice shot. That's great that they are going to restore it! It's important they do things like that rather than leave it abandoned.

[Kathie]

Nice shot. Wonder what it would look like in b/w.

[Delia]
