In May of 2012 Mike Morgan lead a tour in OTR for the Moerlein extended family and 1500 Elm was one of the buildings visited. <br /><br />The building is owned by the non-profit I work for, Over-the-Rhine Community Housing (listed as owned by Race Street Tenants Organization Cooperative, or ReSTOC on the auditor's site) presently and will be renovated into supportive housing for senior citizens. <br /><br />One of the interns I worked with at the time, a Masters of Community Planning student named Sara, let Mike and the Moerlein family into the building & sub-basements and Mike commented to Sara that this was the first time he's come across brewing artifacts. <br /><br />Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11004430392790499880noreply@blogger.com
