This is not a brewery.

This building was used to manufacture many different things. The Crosley company started manufacturing radios, then moved on to televisions, and even produced a car at one point.

The large tank on the top of the building is not a vat, but rather it is a water tower. It was enclosed in the building to make it look nicer.

ok then what is the room in the first two pictures of exploring. There was a waist high door in the stairwell which led down a small ladder to a cement room, actually it was more like a pit. Any ideas there?
