| The Rainier brewery in Seattle as it appeared in 1949. The large building behind the brewery was called, "The Lester Apartments". (a building with quite the history of its own). The apartment building would be destroyed a few years later after a B-50 bomber crashed into it after a failed takeoff from Boeing Field. By the late 1950's Interstate 5 would be built directly behind the brewery. <Steenbock Library> <Brewing in Seattle outtake photo> |
