Brewery Square Aparments

19 River Street is the former home to the now defunct Quinnipiac Brewery Company in New Haven. The building itself stands out in the urban fabric due to its grand scale, as it is mostly surrounded by residential streets, as well as its unique location, being directly adjacent to the Quinnipiac River and the current Quinnipiac River Park. The former Brewery is an attractive red brick building complex designed in the Romanesque Revival Style. It was built in 1882, with additions in 1890s and 1916 in the form of an adjacent bottling plant. The area is surrounded by water on three sides: New Haven Harbor to the South, Mill River to the west and Quinnipiac River to the east and is part of what is considered to be New Haven's post-industrial heritage. The building spent a big portion of the 20^th century vacant, but it was recently transformed into a complex of 104 apartments.
