METCALFE'S BREWERY

On the south side of Market, between Sixth and Seventh.

The front, composing the coolers, mash-room and tun-room, is 77 feet front, by 30 feet deep.  The story above this, is occupied as a mill-room; the next story, as a hop-room.  The malt house, running back, is 140 feet long, 32 feet wide, and 3 stories high.  The kiln is made of pierced sheet iron, 40 feet long, and 20 feet wide.  A steam engine of 6 horse power, is used for pumping water and grinding.  From 14 to 18 hands are employed 9 months in the year, and the Brewery is capable of making from 35 to 40 bbls of beer, or ale, daily-if the consumption would justify.  10 to 12 thousand bushels of barley, and 5 to 6 thousand lbs. of hops, are annually consumed by this establishment.
