The demand for their beer increasing, the need for more commodious buildings was felt, and in 1865, an ice-house, and vaults were crected and excavated. The main building was not built until the next year. In 1863, the need for still more room caused an addition to be made to the main build- ing. This, the only brewery in Macon county, is situated on South Broadway and Cantrell streets. The cost of buildings and machinery was nearly $60,000. The main building is of brick, and is very substantially built. The brewery affords employment to from 12 to 16 men, and has a capacity of 50 barrels per day.
