Jacob Schmit Brewing Tapestries

Description: The Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company is the name of a former brewing company that was located at 882 W. Seventh Street in St. Paul, Minnesota. Founded in 1855, the brewery was originally known as the Christopher Stahlmann Cave Brewery. Its name was changed to its final name in 1900. A short-lived venture lasting less than three years, the company formed with the dissolution of the Christopher Stahlmann Brewing Co. after the deaths of Stahlmann's sons. At the time of Christopher Stahlmann' and his three sons' deaths, the grandchildren were all too young to operate the brewery. By 1898, the job had fallen on Frank Nocolin, the second husband of Henry Stahlmann's widow, Anna.
