The Highland Spring Brewery Bottling and Storage Buildings, including the Oliver Ditson Company Building, are located at 154-166 Terrace St. in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. This complex consists of several brick industrial buildings. constructed over time beginning in 1892. The main building, a four-story Romanesque structure at 164 Terrace Street, was built that year by the Highland Springs Brewery. A second, five-story Georgian Revival building was added in 1912; this building was acquired in 1925 by the Oliver Ditson Company, a leading 19th century publisher of sheet music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NRHP nomination for Highland Spring Brewer Bottling and Storage Buildings )〕 The Highland Spring Brewery was founded in 1867 by a pair of immigrants, one Irish and the other German. The enterprise was a significant success, producing lagers, ales, and porters, and eventually gaining a nationwide reputation. In part for legal reasons, the two buildings built by the company (one for production, the other for storage and bottling) were connected by a tunnel and piping. The brewer ceased operations when Prohibition began in 1920. One of the company's brewmasters opened the Croft Brewery in the 1892 building in 1933 after Prohibition ended, the storage building having been sold to the Ditson Company and significantly altered for its use. Croft was acquired by Narragansett Brewing Company in the 1950s, and operated on the premises until 1981. It was then used for a few years by a pickle manufacturer.〔 The Ditson Company printed sheet music in the 1912 building until 1931, when it was acquired by the Theodore Presser Company, which continued to operate there until the 1950s, after which the building served as a warehouse or sat vacant.〔 The buildings have, since 2008, been rehabilitated into low-cost housing. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 2010.〔 ==See also== *National Register of Historic Places listings in southern Boston, Massachusetts 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Highland Spring Brewery Bottling and Storage Buildings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
