American Brewery Lofts

Description

At 249A Heath Street on the corner of Lawn Street, the American Brewing Company is the most elaborately designed brewery still standing in Boston. The three-building complex is wrapped around a hidden cobblestone courtyard, and the access through a double-arched granite block doorway is watched over by three carved terra cotta heads. At the Lawn Street corner building, a tall conical metal roof sits on the round tower and reveals to a careful viewer several decorative clocks. Set at 7 and 5, they proclaimed to the brewery workers their daily work times. The light that came through the stained glass transoms still gracing the arched windows must have warmed second floor office workers.

The Brewery Lofts feature 14′-23′ ceilings with sleek European inspired kitchens and baths. Arched windows illuminate the original brick walls with tons of sunlight. Some units feature private decks and patios, but all residents can relax in the common courtyard, and with direct access to garage parking they can have easy access to Longwood Medical Center, Downtown Boston and Brookline.
