Adaptive Reuse of Brewery Wins Baltimore Heritage Award
Category: Adaptive Reuse & Compatible Design
From Brewery to apartments, the reuse of the Gunther brewery complex is remarkable for its scope and quality. The work, which earned state and federal historic tax credits, included restoring the facade of the Romanesque Revival-style brewhouse with its decorative arches, pilasters and an elaborate corbelled cornice. The 1949 Stock House and another smaller brewhouse dating to 1950 were also restored. The complex now encompasses five buildings with 162 apartments and retail space and is at the center of the aptly named Brewer’s Hill neighborhood.
