In Brewerytown

1500 N. 31st St. is a roughly 200K sqft building that was once home to the F.A. Poth Brewery, one of the many breweries that resulted in the neighborhood being dubbed Brewerytown. The brewery closed its doors shortly after the end of Prohibition, but the building survived and was used for furniture and

The 1400 block of N. Myrtlewood Street has had a pretty tough run in recent years. According to public record, there are 56 properties on the block and as far as we can tell, nearly half of those properties have been sitting vacant for a number of years. Along with

We were killing time in Brewerytown the other day, randomly looking for anything of interest while awaiting a Rybrew lunch meeting. On 29th Street, we discovered a double-wide property with a 'For Sale' sign, and snapped a couple of photos with the plan of investigating later. Later has come, and now

The 1500 block of N. Stillman St. is way up into Brewerytown, three blocks from Girard Avenue and closer to the PHA Sharswood construction than it is to most of the market rate development in the area. Despite this block being a little off the beaten path, Design Pro Development

We were zipping around Brewerytown the other day, sniffing out some leads, when some recent demolition caught our attention at the southeast corner of 30th & Thompson.

Access to booze is reorganizing in Brewerytown, and MM Partners is unsurprisingly right in the middle of the action. Remember, last year they purchased 2511 W. Girard Ave., the building that was home for many years to a Fine Wine & Good Spirits location. That space became superfluous when a new state store opened on

Westrum Development Company was way ahead of the curve in Brewerytown, building an entire square block of homes on the 3100 blocks of Thompson and Master Streets over a decade ago, seemingly planning for a neighborhood on the rise. Change didn't come as quickly as expected, and the economic downturn of

The Brewerytown boom continues, with 26th Street now getting in on the act. A reader tipped us off about some zoning notices posted at 1214 N. 26th St., a large property that's hit a bit of a rough patch in recent memory. If we turn back the clock just a few

Developers completed a renovation of the Eastern building last year, and it's been a revelation. Previously, this building, located at the intersection of 30th Street, Cecil B. Moore Avenue, and Glenwood Avenue, was sitting vacant and looking awful for many years. Thankfully, developers were able to preserve the building's bones
