The Question:

What was the original purpose of the building built at 605 W. Main Street of Madison Historic District, Southern Indiana?

The Answer:

This is actually a trick question, because there were two buildings, combined, to form the current building.

The building at 603 W. Main Street was a chicken hatchery, while the original building at 605 W. Main Street was a brewery.

Main Street have featured craft beers on tap. I believe William would approve.
