The Bauer Schweitzer facility was once a functioning brewery and malting plant on the fringes of the North Beach community of San Francisco. The site consisted of several large silos and warehouse buildings. The tower building has been designated a San Francisco Landmark.
Ceasing operation in 1981 its site and remaining structures were converted into luxury condominiums with parking underground. Two of the 65’ high silos have been preserved in the courtyard and one of them serves as an entry into the tower building.
CLA designed the interior courtyard with a fountain reminiscent of the site’s historic past. Cast iron columns that once held malting vats were reused as light fixtures along the diagonal path. Existing WPA murals and other historic remnant artifacts have been restored and placed in the lobbies of the building.
