“Schlitz Brewery — 1953”
The exact project or site has not yet been identified.
The five-story Schlitz brewery at 95 Evergreen Avenue opened in 1951 and kept brewing in Bushwick until Schlitz left in 1982. Its later office conversion turned the loading dock into a lobby lined with 8,500 backlit beer bottles—a playful reminder of the building's first life. Joseph's 1953 entry likely records an early addition or follow-on phase, but that scope still needs a contemporary contract.
