File:Seattle - Hemrich Bro's Brewing Co - 1900.jpg
A history of the Hemrich Brewery on brewerygems.com says they started in 1897, and says that prior to their ownership the brewery was known as North Pacific Brewery as well as Slorah Brewery. They are more precise about the location than is the Seattle and the Orient brochure: it was located on Howard Ave. N. (now Yale Ave. N.), between Republican and Mercer streets. This would place it in the Cascade neighborhood, about a block and a half south of what are now the Mercer Street ramps of Interstate 5. (Lake Union would have been larger in those days: there has been quite a bit of fill.)
The replacement for this building can be seen at Image:Seattle - 1275 Mercer 01.jpg.p. 71 of Seattle and the Orient (more properly, Seattle …and the… Orient), a 1900 "souvenir" pamphlet edited and compiled by Alfred D. Bowen and published by The Times Printing Company (that is, the Seattle Times).
