About this property

Challis Brewery Historic District is a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It includes four buildings from the 1879-founded Klug Brewery. Fred Albiez, Ferdinand Klug, and George Fuchs teamed up to open the brewery; it may have closed by 1886.
