Haffenreffer Brewery is built.

[1870-BGL] Architect: M.W. FitzSimmons. Designed in the Colonial Revival, Panel Brick, and Queen Anne styles, it is built by Rudolf Haffenreffer and located at 30 Germania Street. One of more than a dozen breweries along Stony Brook at the time, the complex includes Buildings A through P by 1914, with the tall chimney of building E painted with “Haffenreffer” along its height. It is one of only 14 breweries in Massachusetts that survived Prohibition (by manufacturing “near beer” or soft drinks) and is the last remaining brewery in Boston when it closes in 1964. The Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corporation purchases the complex in 1979. The Boston Beer Company opens a research brewery in one building in 1988. The name on the Building E chimney, by now somewhat reduced in height, is restored in December 2016.
