| Description |
Advertisement depicting an exterior view of the three-story corner brewery constructed circa 1822 and operated by Mordecai
L. Dawson and William Morrison. Includes a partial view of the rear ell (right) and two signboards on the facade that read,
"M.L. Dawson's Brewery". Barrels line the sidewalk of Filbert Street in front of the brewery where two men load them one-by-one
onto a horse-drawn dray. Dawson and Morrison opened their brewery at 79 Chestnut Street in 1820, and moved to Tenth and Filbert
Streets in 1830, after purchasing the old Farmers' Brewery in 1829. Dawson went into business with Charles Poultney, Frederick
Collins and William Massey after Morrison passed in the late 1840s, and the brewery eventually became Massey Brewing Co.
