A National Historic Landmark (www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalhistoriclandmarks/list-of-nh...).

The Anheuser-Busch Brewery occupies a group of some 189 structures covering 142 acres. Many of the red-brick buildings date before 1900, although no inventory of building dates exists at present. The older structures are of a uniformly vigorous Romanesque design with square crenelated towers and elaborate details.

Outstanding is the six-story Brew House, built 1891-92. It is renowned for its multi-storied hop chandelier, intricate iron-work, and utilization of natural light. The Busch Stable, built 1885, was at one time called, with only slight exaggeration, "an Equine Palace." It is built of fine stock brick, on an octagonal pattern with liberal ornamentation. The interior recalls a locomotive roundhouse, with the stables opening onto a common center. The third and last building open to the public is the General Office, built in 1868 as the Lyon School. Along with large, complementary additions to its side and rear, it now serves as administrative offices for the world's largest brewery. (1)
