Non-Schlitz, with Logo
 Although Schlitz built a staggering 57 tied houses between 1897 and 1905, they were not the only ones at it. This example at 24th and Washtenaw was owned by the now long gone Stege Brewery, closed in 1923. 
 E.R. Stege Brewery, Chicago U.S.A. Stege was located at 15th and Ashland. We've found three of their tied houses, all in close proximity to one another. 
 This building is located at 24th and Western, a mere three blocks away from the Washtenaw location. Compare this logo to the one above. The text identifiying Stege was removed at some point.
It felt very good to find this, a Peter Hand tied house, and less than a block from the Blatz house. The Peter Hand Brewery was located at Sheffield and North Avenues until 1978. The brewery's closing marked the beginning of the dark age of Chicago brewing. No breweries operated in the city until 1993 when Goose Island Beer Co. became a full-fledged regional brewery. Although advertising on this building is sparse, it is indeed still used as a bar.
