The Brewmaster's Castle is a Washington, D.C., landmark on the National Register of Historic Places, built by Christian Heurich (1842-1945), the world's oldest brewer, a patriarch of the Washington business community, a philanthropist, a German immigrant, and an American citizen. It is America's most intact late-Victorian house museum, the first fireproof residence in the nation's capital, and the smart house of the late-19th century. Donated in 1955 by Heurich's widow to the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., it served as the Society's first headquarters. Purchased in 2003 by the Heurich House Foundation, it was protected in perpetuity.
