Flint Photos: Unknown Brewery



Thanks to Rich Bennett for a second photo.



More info from Gerry Godin: "Here is another photo of the brewery. This is from the postcard history of Flint. This building was built in 1899 and was used as the Flint Brewery. When Genesee County voted to become dry in 1915, a group of churchmen had an idea: 'What better way to show the victory of religion over drinking than to convert a brewery into a church?' Lakeview Methodist Episcopal Church remained at that location for about five years until the congregation left to construct a smaller church building nearby. After that time, the building again became a brewery, then an office for a trucking company, warehouse, electric motor repair shop, welding shop, and a casket and woodworking shop. The building burned, and what remained was razed in 1992.
