A red brick building with a spacious interior. Especially interesting is a multi-story lobby with balconies on each floor (interior).
(re)Opened in 2017 as "The Brewery Memphis", an apartment complex. Their slogan is "a room with a brew". See weblink "at the brewery" below for their website - their photo section has some cool historical, renovation, current, and abandonment pics.

Circa 1890 brewery with lovely architecture and some intact equiptment. Nice view of Memphis from the roof. This location was used for the local indie film "Blue Citrus Hearts" by Morgan Jon Fox.

High on the bluff at Memphis, Tennessee, overlooking the Mississippi River, stands a monument to a once great southern brewery. This large Victorian complex once housed the Tennessee Brewing Company, a leader in early brewery production.
The brewery was organized, originally, in 1877 by G.H. Herboro and named "The Memphis Brewing Company". After being bought in 1885 by J. W. Schorr, Casper Koehler, and associates, it soon became one of the largest breweries of the era. The first beer marketed was simply "Pilsener". Later, there were two brands called "Colombian" and "Erlanger"; this was before 1917's prohibition.
At one time, more than 1,500 workers owed their livelihood to the Tennessee Brewing Company which indicates its size. By 1903, production was up to 250,000 barrels per year, making this the largest brewery in the south. The building that remains today was erected in 1890 and is basically unchanged, except it now is being renovated to become apartments or a mall.
The last president of the brewery, Mr. E. C. Krausnick, great grandson of Casper Koehler, stated that even Goldcrest 51 was primarily bottled beer and that they did not can any of their products until about 1947. The first can was a cone top, used until about 1950-51, at which time they added a flat top, produced until the brewery closed in 1954. Mr. Krausnick indicated that the percentage of their Goldcrest 51 in cans was very small. As a somewhat local beer, the brewery used the return bottles until it ceased operations.
After prohibition the best known and leading beer sold in Memphis for many years was "Goldcrest", which after 1938 was known as "Goldcrest 51" to honor more than 51 years in the brewing business. (there are, however, differing opinions on what the 51 represented; one pertained to highway 51)

Though slow to materialize, The Greater Memphis Arts Council is turning the facility into a multi-use art space. The building will incorportate studios, a theater, etc. Due to this, the building has seen recent activity in the form of construction projects and a fundraising party.
