History of Deuschtown Center
|
Deutschtown Center is the former home of The Bottling Works of
the Eberhardt & Ober Brewery. This trapezoid structure,
originally built in the late 7500's, was placed on the National
Register in 1987. The structure was designed by prominent
Pittsburgh Architect Edward Stotz, who also designed famous
Pittsburgh structures listed in the National Register, including
the Church of the Epiphany located in the Lower Hill District.
E & 0 was founded by a German immigrant in 1845 and was one of a
number of medium sized breweries in the old City of Allegheny. E
& 0 consolidated into Pittsburgh Brewing in 1899 and Deutschtown
Center was the site of the bottling activities until the advent
of prohibition in 1920. E & 0 re-opened after prohibition and
remained open, utilizing present day Deutschtown Center, until
its closure in 1952, leaving Iron City as the only remaining
survivor of the 1899 consolidation.
Deutschtown Center retains the original E & 0 location, feeling,
and association of Pittsburgh's brewing hey days. Its exposed
beams, brickwork and window restoration duplicates, emphasizes
and highlights an era gone by while enjoying modern conveniences
and comforts of the workplace. |
