Lemp Mansion is a historical house in Benton Park, St. Louis, Missouri. The house was built in 1868 by St. Louisian Jacob Feickert. William J. Lemp, and wife, Julia, moved into the mansion in 1876. William J. Lemp Brewery Company dominated the St. Louis beer market before prohibition with its Falstaff beer brand. It is also the site of four suicides by Lemp family members after the death of son Frederick Lemp.
Lemp Family History
The original patriarch of the family was Johann "Adam" Lemp, born in 1798 in Germany. In 1838 he settled in St. Louis and was listed as a grocer in a directory two years later. Adam Lemp started a grocery store called A. Lemp and Co. now where the south side of the Edward Jones dome is.
Lemp sold his own vinegar and beer. By 1840 he focused solely on beer forming Western Brewery. Lemp's beer became popular with the increase of the German population in the area. The Lemp's knew the Pabst owner, original Frederick Pabst, who died on January 1, 1904. On February 13, 1904, William Lemp committed suicide by gunshot, and died at 10:15 a.m. Here are some pictures. Look up Lemp family history for a spook.
