Old Car Factory, 1952
After a series of expansions, the Brewing Corporation of America switched its name to the Carling Brewing Company in 1954 and began selling Red Cap ale and Black Label beer in markets across the country. Citing the cost of running its aging Quincy Avenue plant, Carling left Cleveland in 1971 and moved its headquarters to Massachusetts. By this time, the company had several breweries throughout the nation. The facility on Quincy Avenue then served as the home of the C. Schmidt & Son's brewery from 1972-1984. It has since been torn down. | Date: 1952 | Source: Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
