History
The Richter Brewing Company was organized in Escanaba in 1901. The company immediately hired a Milwaukee firm to design the building. Construction of the Richter Brewery proceeded from 1900 into 1901, and the Richter Brewery began manufacture in early 1901. Over the next few years, additional buildings were constructed, including a keg house, office building, bottling plant, ice house and stable. All but the 1915 office building were demolished in 1929. The building was purchased in 2008 with the intention of renovating it into loft apartment space; As of early 2012, the renovation was nearly complete, with 9 apartments leased and one of the three commercial spaces filled. It remained a mixed-use building in 2019, and has been used by the state of Michigan as an example of high-quality development. ==Description==
