National Register of Historic Places - George Schmidt House(Brewmaster's House)

Statement of Significant: The Brewmaster's House is among the most important High Victorian residences in Denver. In addition to this architectural significance, the house is historically significant as a survival of the Zang Brewery Complex. The Zang Brewery was the successor to the Rocky Mountain Brewery, the first brewery in the area. In 1860, the Rocky Mountain Brewery was located on the "Highland side of the platte," near the present location of the Zang Brewmaster's House. In 1869, John Good, proprietor of the Rocky Mountain Brewery, hired phillip Zang, (born in Bavaria in 1826,) to be manager of the brewery. Zang, in three years, became proprietor and changed the name of the brewery to Zang. It was expanded and re- built many times in the area of Seventh Street and the Platte River. Most all of the structures involved with the Zang operation have been demolished. George Schmidt was the brewmaster and original owner of this residence. William Quayle was an architecture working in Denver between the years c. 1881-1900. He had many important commissions including the First Congregational Church at 16th and Glenarm, the Franklin School at Colfax and Tenth, the State Armory, several commercial blocks, the Ashland School, and many residences for prominent Denverites. He also designed the Pitkin County Courthouse in Aspen, Colorado, (nominated to the National Register).
