Brewery Farm
The “Brewery Farm” was a farm along what is now known as Herman Road that was owned by Henry Schaeffer of the Arnhold and Henry Schaeffer Brewing Company. Schaeffer purchased the 144-acre farm in 1891 and while he did reside here it is not known if brewing was done here.
Arnhold and Schaeffer was one of several brewers that defined the Brewerytown section of Philadelphia. According to oldbreweries.com they were in business only from 1884-87 but the Philadelphia Inquirer (Aug 27, 1927, p.3) mentions the company having 15 vats of beer returned to them during prohibition.
