SENTRIES

AT LEMP BREWERY

Two sentries, now in bloom,

standing guard on Lemp Avenue

beside the original silos

of Lemp Brewery.

Built in 1840,

Lemp was one of the first

and largest breweries in St. Louis,

until the Prohibition Act of 1919.

These magnificent brick silos 

still stand at the brewery which

continued operation as

Griesedieck and then

Falstaff Brewing Company.

The property remains idle today.
