DETAILS:
This former Schlitz Brewery stable is a rare surviving buildings from "Schlitz Row," a complex located just outside the "Dry" industrial town of Pullman that originally included three tied-houses and housing for Schlitz workers. The stable was used to house horses and carriages which Schlitz used to deliver its products to the tied house taverns it owned, and it exemplifies the vertigral integration that defined the tied house system. The brick building is symmetrical with a wagon entrance at the center of the street-level facade flanked on either side by a pair of arched openings. At the second story, the corner piers of the building include blind-arched openings framing recessed brick and stucco panels with distinctive terra-cotta horse-head sculptures. The design is attributed to the architectural partnership of Frommann & Jebsen who designed all of the buildings in Schlitz Row as well as several other high-style tied houses for the brewery.
