The Fall of the House of Lemp, a St. Louis Brewing Empire

Hulking buildings on St. Louis' Cherokee street represent a story of rags to riches to tragedy for a family of German immigrants. At one time, the Lemp Brewery was one of the largest in the United States. The family and brewery's rise and fall is history that deserves to be remembered.
