They were built between 1854 and 1900 and first served as a brewery and winery.","why_significant":"The building is significant because it housed two of Sandusky's important 19th century industries, a brewery and a winery. Several breweries operated here, beginning with Fox's. In 1900 the Diamond Wine Co., started by William Mills, son of Sandusky founder Isaac Mills, moved in and made champagne in the cellars.","narrative":"Three connected buildings at 334 Harrison Street in Sandusky, Ohio, preserve the story of two nineteenth-century local industries. Built between 1854 and 1900 near the shore of Sandusky Bay, the complex has stone sections with stone lintels and sills and six-over-six windows, plus a plain brick section probably added about 1900. Several breweries operated here, starting with Fox's. In 1900 the Diamond Wine Co., begun by William Mills, son of Sandusky founder Isaac Mills, moved in and made champagne in the cellars. In 1920 the Easiest Way Manufacturing Company, described as a pioneer washing machine maker, took over the site. Over the years doors and windows were opened or closed to suit different uses, and the building later served for stove manufacture. The property was listed because it housed both a brewery and a winery, two of the city's significant industries of the period.","period_of_significance":"1854-1900","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular","criteria":[],"status_note":"Exterior condition listed as fair; the form gives the present use as stove manufacture, with doors and windows altered over time for the current tenant.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:53:14.694083-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_OH/82001400.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001400/31e80b92d4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82001400/31e80b92d4-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Nyttend","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fox%27s_Brewery-Diamond_Wine_Company.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nyttend</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fox%27s_Brewery-Diamond_Wine_Company.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985012","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137771771"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/ohio/erie-county/foxs-brewery-diamond-wine-co-82001400/"}
