History and architectural features

edit

Built circa 1900, this historic structure is a three-story, rectangular brick building with a flat roof and stone foundation, stretching three bays wide.

Besides being used as a warehouse, the building has also been used as a recording studio. In 2012, a process was begun to buy the building for $245,000 and turn it into a microdistillery, making rye whiskey.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1] It is a few doors down from the R. K. Schnader & Sons Tobacco Warehouse which is also listed on the National Register.
