Edwards Cos. is close to beginning redevelopment of the former Salvation ArmybizWatch thrift store in the Brewery District into 47 apartments, four years after planning to convert the historic building into condominiums.

The developer’s Eclipse Real Estate Group arm switched gears for the $10 million project following the collapse of the condo market several years ago and the pullback by banks from funding such real estate projects.

“In this economy, it’s about hanging on and deciding what will work,” said Edwards Cos. President Jeff Edwards. “When the condo market fell apart, we started saying, ‘Uh, oh, we have issues.’

Those German boys produced a hell of a lot of beer in the days. It's a huge space. I remember the worn wooden floors, huge paned windows and the large industrial elevator on the second floor when I would stop in the old Salvation Army. Even though I didn't know it was a former brewery back then, I always like this space.

Does anyone have any photos of this building while it was a salvation army store? I am curious about what the inside looked like, I heard it was a factory style floor with stuff piled up. As a person who loves to dig in piles of "junk" I am real sad I never got to explore here.
