- Description
This image is from Volume 1 of 100 years of pictorial & descriptive history of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, while the quoted description is from Volume 2. "The second picture from the top to the right is interesting from two points. First it is the first brewery and second because it shows the first court house for this county. The brewery was built by a man named Schmidt about 1859 and was bought by Jacob Lutz and Bro. in 1880. The brother's name was David. It operated under the firm title and was known in this locality as "Lutz Brewery". Jacob Lutz was a jovial German inclined to be rather farther around than up and down. He had a high pitched falsetto voice and spoke a pleasant broken English with a German accent. Jake was a breeder of jersey milk cows and annually took the first prize at the fall fair held where the Athletic Field is now located. The brewery buildings included, besides the brewery itself, the residence for the families and the necessary barns and barrel sheds.
