cowdery Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Baxter Station is a good addition, a nice neighborhood bar in the shadow of what's left of Distillery Commons (a defunct distillery). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nblair Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Baxter Station is a good addition, a nice neighborhood bar in the shadow of what's left of Distillery Commons (a defunct distillery).I was going to try to head down to Baxter Station this weekend to grab a drink or two. Is it correct that ND used to be located in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdery Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The Distillery Commons web site is a little misleading. No distilling was done there post-prohibition, but it was a major warehousing and bottling complex, mostly producing Old Grand-Dad.Baxter Station is adjacent to the site. I assume it was the bar where the National workers went after their shifts.The guy who redeveloped it as commercial space after 1979 told me that when they started to pull the place apart, they found thousands of empty Old Grand-Dad pint bottles stuck here and there, from workers lifting and drinking them, then discarding the empties. It was to him one of the most memorable things about redeveloping the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
