Highland Spring Brewery is built.

Architect: Frederick Footman. Originally Rueter & Alley Brewery and founded by German immigrant Henry Rueter and Irish immigrant John Alley, it is designed in the Queen Anne style and located at 154 – 164 Terrace Street. It becomes the largest brewery in the U.S. producing only ale and porter. When Alley leaves to start his own brewery, the company becomes Rueter & Company in 1888. The brewery expands in 1912* and closes in 1919. It reopens as a brewery after Prohibition, producing Croft Ale until 1953. One of its buildings is subsequently used as a warehouse by the Oliver Ditson Music Publishing Company. Another is used by the Rosoff Pickle factory. The complex is subsequently converted to residential use.
