Listed building or place reference: HE0010 Historic site reference Property Brew House Road name Ann Street Parish St. Helier LocationView on map Grade Listed Building Grade 3 Category Industrial building Statement of significance The Brew House is of historical importance as the most significant building that relates specifically to Jersey's brewing history. It is the most noteworthy survival of the Jersey Brewery that began operating in the back garden of Sans Souci, St Saviour's Road in 1871. The brew house is a rare example of an historic industrial building in Jersey and is a locally unique example of industrial design. Context n/a External Description The brew house is significant for its architectural design - it is purpose-built with the scale, layout and fittings all inter-relating as part of the function and character of the building. The building is up to 8 storeys high and is constructed of steel-reinforced concrete frame. The overall plan reflects the need to convey liquids by gravity from the start of the brewing process at the top of the building downwards. The roof is flat apart from the top storey, which is stepped back from the facade, and runs two thirds of the length of the building. This upper structure has a hipped, slated roof. The 2nd and 6th bays of the facade protrude slightly and are wider, creating a simple tower effect. The larger of the two rises just above the parapet and forms an asymmetrical composition. A simple motif of three vertical dashes in raised render, surmounts the main tower bay giving a final, deco flourish. The glazing is all multi-pane, metal tilt windows. Those of the first floor are almost double in height, giving further vertical emphasis to the composition. The substantial survival of the original internal fittings and machinery, such as the mill for crushing barley and the copper-lined mash tuns, together with the unusual internal arrangement of walls of glazing and open floor levels, contributes to the distinctive character and interest of the building.
