Landmark Context

(Former) Schlitz Brewery Stable Building is fixed in the city's landmark record at 11314 S. Front Ave. The designation record holds onto a construction date of 1906 and credits Frommann and Jebsen. It was designated on July 6, 2011. (Former) Schlitz Brewery Stable Building keeps production and distribution, labor and land use, and industrial corridor change grounded in a real building even when the public record is brief.

Seen that way, the landmark helps explain how work, logistics, and land use remain legible in the site long after original production changed.
