DESIGN INSPIRATION

Existing entry, above; Kiln Structure, below. These elements were integral to the original building and it was important to find a way to integrate them into the design. (Personal photos, July 2024)

Sign in the Lemp Brewery Bottling Department that reads "The most modern establishment in the world". This sign was recreated in this project in the Lounge on Level 1.

It was imperitive that the structure be able to support the new additions as well as the existing brick walls, so cross bracing was strategically placed throughout the building. Instead of concealing these structural members, they are on display emulating the machines that once powered the complex.

The “Government Tunnel,” circa 1907, connected the bottling department to the rest of the brewery and contained pipes to transport beer, air, ammonia, and electrical conduits, but was mostly destroyed with the construction of the new bottling department additions in 1911.

Design elements mimicking these pipes were incorporated throughout this project. Courtesy of Sublunar Photography.

Glazed white thin-brick and green brick (above) are present throughout this project, inspired by similar materials in many buildings in the complex. The shadow box floors will contain materials salvaged from deteriorating areas (below) of the complex. Courtesy of Sublunar Photography.

BUILDING REFERENCES

Section drawing of the Malt Kiln during ISCO’s ownership. This section was crucial in understanding the verticality of the building. The level noted as “Elec. Maint Surplies” was quite interesting, as all accounts found by this author of the brewery specifically noted two levels below ground. For the purposes of this project, it was determined that this level is most likely a representation of the Government Tunnel, and does not occupy the entire footprint. Deeper investigation is needed to determine how this would affect this design. (Additional section below showing more context) Courtesy of Chris Naffziger.

Sanborn Fire Insurance Co. map of the Malt Kiln and adjacent buildings during the ISCO years, showing the path of what is assumed to be the Government Tunnel connecting the building to the east with the block of buildings containing the Malt Kiln. This author suspects that the segment of the tunnel that turns due-north leads to the entrance to the cave. Courtesy of Chris Naffziger.

As the title of this thesis suggests, counting bricks occupied a great deal of time in the initial design process. Below is a small sample of this process. Various images and Google street views were inserted into Bluebeam Revu where brick course counts could be noted so that they could be referred back to while the existing building model was being created. Scaling of images was not necessary as dimensions could be determined solely based on the number of bricks running either horizontally or vertically at any given section of the building.

THE LEMP BREWERY: UNDERGROUND

Above: Each cellar level is divided along the east-west axis into seven compartments, with arched openings connecting each compartment. Below: The existing stairs leading to the subterranean cellars are in questionable condition. Chris Naffziger described to this author how he and photographer Jason Gray ultimately “scooted” down these stairs staying tight against the left wall in the photo as the stairs seemed the most stable there. In order to meet fire code regulations if the cellars were to be made available to the public, this stairway and others would need to be replaced.

What remains of the “swimming pool” in the Lemp cave. With the cave no longer utilized in the lagering process, the Lemp family used the cave for entertainment purposes.
