restaurants. There is also a museum about the brewery and a self-guided tour of parts of the historic complex. Description The complex comprises ten buildings, constructed and altered as needs changed over time. Most are utilitarian in design, but four buildings facing Superior Street exhibit the Richardsonian Romanesque style popular in the last two decades of the 19th century. They are characterized by their massive scale, semicircular arches, and uncoursed basalt masonry with a rusticated texture and subtle polychrome. One of the utilitarian buildings, constructed in 1911, served as a garage and stable for the horses and vehicle used to deliver the brewery's products. Legacy The brewery complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as the Fitger Brewing Company for its local significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, and industry. It was nominated as a prominent example of late-19th and early-20th-century industrial architecture and a representative of Minnesota's important brewing industry.
