Earliest photo of the Brewery looking down the gulch.
Progress has been made on the erection of the smelter, complete with smoke stack. In the foreground, the earliest commercial establishment, the Mannheim Brewery also is progressing nicely. -
Sketch of the Brewery
The precise detail of this illustration in Leeson’s History of Montana published in 1885 is remarkable. It was noted then as being operated by Louis Heinbockle. Built by John Mannheim in 1875, it was later sold to Frank Gilg in June of 1878. -
Views looking over the early mill site from the hillside above
From the hill south of the mill site and looking to the northwest, this view showing the Dahler and Armstrong Company smelter at Glendale. Clearly in operation while workers paused for this photo. The company office and assay building is the two story white looking building in right center of photo. The white wagon parked next to it is the traveling photo gallery of O.C. Bundy, to whom the credit for these early images is given.
