The brewery retains a high degree of architectural integrity. Al through four stories today, the corner section once rose another story and a half as a tower. Originally, the first story contained the engine room and boiler room, pressure and racking rooms, and washrooms. Doors between sections were built like refrigerator doors so that correct temperatures could be maintained. The brewing kettle extended to the second floor, which also contained fermenting vats, mash machinery, and hop storage space. The third story contained a 150 barrel water tank and above this level, malt was stored. A one story wash house is adjacent on the north. Another one-story section west of the brew house was built as a general storage area and originally was separate from the main building. North of the brew house was an office and pitch house of one story. Just north of this is a one story brick building that housed bottling works. The building stands today as an excellent example of adaptive re-use as an apartment building.
