Loading docks at David Yuengling's Eagle Brewery in Pottsvile, Pennsylvania, ca. 1855

Photograph of the loading docks of David Yuengling's Eagle Brewery in Pottsvile, Pennsylvania. The D.G. Yuengling & Son script on the building indicates that the photograph was taken after David Yuengling’s son, Frederick, joined the firm in 1873 and it was given its current name. The wagons in the foreground would likely have been used to distribute barrels of beer to taverns and hotels in and around Pottsville or to transport beer to nearby railheads.
