History of the Lemp Brewery Complex The Lemp Brewery Complex holds a prominent place in St. Louis history. The property lies within the Benton Park National Historic District and the Cherokee-Lemp Local Historic District, and is designated as a St. Louis City Landmark. It also lies near the Soulard and Lafayette Square National Historic Districts as well as the headquarters of Anheuser-Busch, Sigma-Aldrich and the National Imagery & Mapping Agency. The Lemp Brewery Complex was the site of two of the most successful businesses in American history: the Lemp Brewing Company (“Lemp”) and the International Shoe Company (“ISCO”). The property is significant as an early manufacturing center which contributed to the preeminence of St. Louis in both the brewing and shoemaking industries of the 19th and 20th centuries. From 1864 to 1922, the complex was owned by the Lemp family to produce and distribute beer and other beverages. From 1922 to 1992, it was owned by ISCO to produce and distribute shoes and shoe components. Both of these companies reached great heights and both played an indelible part in establishing the historic reputation of St. Louis as the home of “Booze, Blues and Shoes”. Initial development of the site began in 1864 by William J. Lemp who sought to expand a growing brewing operation originally started in 1838 by his father Adam Lemp near the St. Louis riverfront, now the site of the St. Louis Gateway Arch. Adam Lemp was first in the United States to produce lager-style beer and is considered the father of modern brewing in St. Louis. The Lemps selected the current site for its two natural features: underground limestone caves and closeness to the Mississippi River. Prior to the availability of mechanical refrigeration, ice was obtained from the Mississippi River during winter and stored in the property’s natural caverns to preserve and age Lemp’s lager beer. During the next 55 years the Lemps built their brewery into an industry giant. Their brewery eventually became the largest in St. Louis – larger than its neighbor Anheuser-Busch – as well as one of the largest in the United States with national brands such as Falstaff, Lemp Standard Lager and Culmbacher. The Lemps also owned and operated their own refrigerated railroad, the Western Cable Railway Company, and were first in the nation to establish coast-to-coast distribution of beer. They had sales offices and distribution centers in most major U.S. cities. By the 1890’s Lemp beers were being shipped around the globe and in 1912 Lemp beers were first in the world to be delivered by airplane. The Lemps designed their buildings with an architectural significance that corresponded to the magnitude of their business. As their brewery continued to expand and prosper, the Lemps became a symbol of civic wealth and power in St. Louis. Their success however was cut short by the advent of national Prohibition, which forced all brewing operations to shut down in 1919. Driven to emotional distress and convinced that Prohibition would never be repealed, the Lemps sold the entire complex on June 28, 1922 to ISCO at public auction. The Lemps subsequently sold their flagship Falstaff trademark to another St. Louis brewer who used it to establish the Falstaff Brewing Corporation after Prohibition was repealed. Such was the market power and inertia of the Falstaff brand that it continued to outsell its famous crosstown rival Budweiser on the St. Louis home turf well into the 1960’s. Out of the ashes of the Lemp downfall emerged a new era, that of International Shoe Company. Although it was the second owner of the property ISCO also had a long and significant history at the site. They used every available square foot of the complex for shoe manufacturing, packaging and storage and supplied over 90 shoe distribution facilities across the U.S. from this site. In the decades that followed, ISCO grew to become the nation’s largest shoe manufacturer with recognizable brands such as Poll Parrot, Red Goose and Florsheim. By 1962 it was one of the largest industrial employers of any kind in the U.S. with over 33,000 personnel. By 1966 ISCO diversified into retailing and apparel prompting the company to change its name to the broader title of “Interco”. By the 1970’s this strategic shift along with a gradual movement of shoe production overseas resulted in a decline in the use of the Lemp property as a shoe manufacturing center. By the 1980’s Interco diversified into the furniture business and shoe manufacturing operations largely ceased at the Lemp site. In the 1990’s Interco began to lease out the Lemp property a multi-tenant warehouse/industrial complex which is the use that it still holds today under its current owner, Historic Lemp Brewery LLC. Based on its size, appearance, location, architectural design, workmanship, prominent historic owners and historic industrial uses, the Lemp Brewery Complex contributes significantly to the sense of time and place in the historic development of the City of St. Louis. In the words of St. Louis historian Stephen P. Walker: “The well-chosen architects and the fine St. Louis German bricklayers that created the Lemp Brewery were among the most elegant masters of their trades. As a result, the brewery was more than a workshop, more than a factory, more than an office – it was an outstanding ornament to the community”.

The Lemp Brewery was a beer brewing company established in 1840 in St. Louis, Missouri that was acquired by the Griesedieck Beverage Company in 1920, which subsequently became the Falstaff Brewing Corporation. The brewery complex property consists of 27 buildings on a 13.7acre site in the Marine Villa neighborhood. St. Louisian Steve DeBellis has been the owner of the Lemp Brewing Company trademark since 1988.Company historyJohann Adam Lemp was born in 1798 in Eschwege, Germany, and two years after his arrival in the United States in 1836, he moved to St. Louis. He sought to make his fortune by becoming a grocer; however he abandoned this dream when he realized his grocery store was more popular for its lager beer than for its groceries. In 1840, Adam Lemp closed his grocery and opened a brewery and saloon, then known as the Western Brewery. During the 1840s, Lemp moved the brewery to a larger complex in south St. Louis and began training his son, William J. Lemp, to take over the operations. The elder Lemp died in 1862, with his estate being valued at $20,000.William J. Lemp then took over the brewery and purchased the property that would become the Lemp Brewery complex in 1864. This property at 3500 Lemp Avenue, still stands in St. Louis today.After the implementation of Prohibition in the United States in 1919, the Lemp Brewery was unable to continue its beer brewing operations, and its near beer product (known as Cerva) was not profitable. In 1920, the Lemp Brewery's factory complex and brands were sold to other beer brewing companies.
