Christian Heurich was a German immigrant brewer, real estate investor and philanthropist. Heurich was Washington’s second largest land owner during his time besides the US Government, and ran what was at that time, the nation’s oldest brewery until he ceased at the ripe age of 102 years. The Brewmaster’s Castle is the most well preserved late-Victorian home in the country. It is a Landmark on the National Register of Historic Places.
