Hudepohl Brewery, Queensgate, Cincinnati, OH

This is the old Hudepohl Brewing Company brewery number 2, which originally opened as the Lackman Brewery in 1860. Hudepohl, founded in Over-the-Rhine in 1885 and once located between East McMicken Avenue and East Clifton Avenue, moved all of its operations to this brewery in 1958, and the original Hudepohl complex was largely demolished in 1963. This brewery complex was constructed in stages, with the Art Deco portion with the iconic smokestack dating to 1948, with other portions of the facility dating to the 1930s and 1940s, due to Lackman's agreement with the city to be able to expand operations, rights that Hudepohl bought the brewery to take advantage of and grow larger following the repeal of prohibition. The brewery, which had survived prohibition by bottling and brewing non-alcoholic soft drinks, closed in 1987 following the company's merger with Schoenling, a rival brewer who still operates their brewery at the corner of Central Parkway and Liberty Street. The abandoned complex has already been partially demolished, with a structurally compromised portion of the post-Prohibition additions being demolished sometime in the last 20 years, and a fire doing damage to the iconic
