Re: FLOCK'S ?

In 1865, Henry Jacob Flock bought the City Brewery at 601 Franklin Street(begun by Jacob Hoffman in 1854), and operated it until his death in 1884. Flock was a native of Prussia, Germany, who came to this country in 1853, and worked as a stonemason before entering the brewing business. His widow and succeeding generations of Flocks ran the brewery until 1943 when they sold it to a group of businessmen. In 1951 Lycoming College bought the brewery and razed it for a parking lot. The brewery occupied a 2 1/2 acre plot and included the main brewery building, a bottling plant, a garage, machine shop, and three residential buildings, one of which was the Flock home. The brewery was run by steam and the entire plant was fueled by coal. Lighting for many years came from lard oil
