The building pictured here was built in 1880 and partially rebuilt in 1890 after a a wind storm. "The ice house cupola toppled over and a the wall facing Fulton gave way." After a series of mergers, etc., it became Sterling sometime around 1920. "Like many others during Prohibition, the company renamed itself Sterling Products Co. They made soft drinks, near beer, and malt extract (which was used by illicit homebrewers). It became Sterling Brewers Inc after Prohibition was over in 1933." In 1972 it was bought out, and then sold again in 1988. It closed in 1997 and was razed in 1998. It was the last brewery standing in Evansville. (http://www.historicevansville.com/site.php?id=sterling) The addition seen here is obviously later than the 1890 rebuild. 001515092 542__ $$fhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-NC/1.0/ 001515092 6531_ $$aBuildings 001515092 655__ $$aColor Photograph 001515092 691__ $$aEvansville, IN 001515092 7001_ $$aBrad Awe 001515092 8564_ $$9b5b3ee25-f00e-418d-9949-4b1e56b1c52a$$s1312258$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1515092/files/26278.jpg 001515092 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1515092$$pGLOBAL_SET 001515092 914__ $$aVolume1141/MSS 184-0308.tif 001515092 914__ $$aRLIC 001515092 980__ $$aSpecial & Regional History Collection 001515092 984__ $$aBrad Awe Collection 001515092 985__ $$aImage
