Manhattan Files. I am in the process of reviewing a recent cache of Manhattan docs I acquired
(see News and Views post). So far I have probably skimmed 1000+ docs and have many more to go. There is a

COMING SOON!
Using our Way-Back machine, take a virtual tour of the brewery by means of a set of blue
prints and drawings from 1933. Theses plans were drawn up in preparation for
renovating the brewery for post-prohibition production. Maybe one day if I get rich, I'll rebuild the
brewery per-the old plans! At least the land is still available. Check out an aerial pic of the old
site of the brewery courtesy GoogleEarth Also, Check out the old brewery site location on Google Maps.
