Brewer's Hill, Baltimore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brewers Hill is a neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, United States.
The neighborhood is bounded by Fleet Street to the North, Haven Street to the East, Dillon Street to the South, and Conkling Street to the West. Brewers Hill is south of Highlandtown and east of Canton, Baltimore. The city's Canton Industrial Area lays to the south.
The neighborhood's architecture includes a variety of houses built between 1915-1920 as the city expanded eastward. The housing includes traditional Baltimore rowhouses built of redbrick and formstone. Many of the older houses have original architectural features, such as marble steps and porch fronts.
A neighborhood landmark is the illuminated Mr Boh sign that hangs high above the old National Bohemian brewery. The brewery was established in 1885 and was closely associated with Baltimore's strong German American community. The brewery was famous for its National Bohemian brand (known in Baltimorese as Natty Boh), also its National Premium Beer, Colt 45 malt liquor, and the introduction of the nation's first six-pack in the 1940s.
The old Natty Boh brewery site is being redeveloped into 737,000 square feet of commercial and office space. Neighboring sites will undergo residential redevelopment as apartments and lofts.
