Lithograph, Circa 1880s
This lithograph produced by the Leisy Brewing Company shows the company's eight-acre campus on Vega Avenue after the completion of a series of renovations and expansions in 1884. The house to the right of the main building belonged to owner Isaac Leisy, while the small structures to the left are the stables where the company's fleet of horse-drawn delivery wagons was kept. Across Vega Avenue is Leisy's bottling works which opened in 1878, making the company one of the first breweries to bottle its own beer. Railroad tracks ran directly behind the main brewing building. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
