Brewer's Creek

Brewer's Creek, originally called Clove Brook, has since been dammed upstream to create Brewers' Reservoir (or Reservoir #1). Fred Redeker operated a brewery along this stream in the 19th century and then Deer Park Brewery operated here from 1899-1922 and then after Prohbition until 1942. The creek remains above ground through the hollow between Point Peter and Brewer's Hill to this point on the north side of Canal Street.
