The house built in 1892-94 for successful German-American brewer Christian Heurich. It is the city 's best preserved Richardsonian Romanesquea architecture . John Granville Meyers was the architect.

One Thursday a month is a celebration of a local micro brew and you can view the house AND enjoy a beer at the same time.
