Having served four years ,t'i an apprentice, he learned his trade :t'i a~rewmaster. He came to the United States in October, 1872. The trip was made with the: H. Heinz family of Chicago. They had been visiting in Germany while thea pickle factory was being rebuilt after the Chicago fire. These early friends of Mr. Weinhard were the family whose name had been famous for more than half a century as the manufacturers of nationally known pickles and condiments. He planned to go West, but he had to wait in New York three weeks for the arrival of his trunks. When he reached Portland, Oregon he had but four dollars and a few personal possessions. For several years he was employed as a foreman at a Portland Brewery, belonging to his uncle, Henry Weinhard. He later purchased an interest in a brewery plant at The Dalles. Indian troubles were serious at that time, and Mr. Weinhard often told of seeing Indians on the hills watching to see how many soldiers were arriving by boat. The spys would signal other Indians and this would cause fear and unrest in the entire settlement. Later he went to Placerville, California, where he worked for about six years and acquired property. Hearing from a newspaperman of the wonderful opportunities in Washington Territory, he started for Spokane in the fall of 1880, traveling by boat to The Dalles and from there by stagecoach. When he reached Dayton, the stage was delayed by a snowstorm. Hearing of a business opening in Dayton, he decided to remain. Thus an incident of the weather shaped the course of his whole life, for here he remained, to earn his livelihood, build a home and raise a family, and assist in developing a new community. On December 3 I , 18 81, Jacob Weinhard was married to Caroline Giebenhain of Placerville, California. To this union seven children were born. For 26 years Mr. Weinhard was in the brewing and malting business. He had need of vast quantities of barley in his business. The extensive growing of this crop in Columbia County early in the century was probably due to Mr. Weinhard, more than any other man. He was one of the first to appreciate the peculiar adaptability of our soil to growing barley, and it was a long time before he could induce the farmers to change their annual crop from wheat to barley. Although his financial success was great, Mr. Weinhard achieved his desired objectives only after years of close application to duty, during which time many disasters threatened his every interest, time after time. In the great fires of the early eighties he lost his most valuable properties but with grit, energy and perseverance, he started anew after each misfortune and lived to reap the benefits of his early industry and thrift. He helped to organize the Citizen's Bank, one of the first banking institutions of the community. In 190 3 he built a most beautiful theater, which was enjoyed by the public in the days when famous road shows vi~ited small towns, for there were no moving picture houses or community halls where entertainment might be found. Annie Adams, mother of the famous Maude Adams, once played in this theater. Plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen and Sheridan were to be seen almost fortnightly, when the playhouse was in its heyday. John Phillip Sousa played at the Weinhard theater with his striking band. It also housed stock companies from the cities for a week at a time and many were the home talent productions that played to capacity houses in the twelve years of its life. Fire claimed this building too at the la~t. and it was never rebuilt. The day of the drama for small communities was passing and the movies ~~ - - were already taking traveling thespians off the road. Although never taking much part in community activities as far as holding membership in organizations was concerned, Mr. Weinhard was deeply interested in civic development .. He took the contract for building the first cement sidewalks on Main Street and Third. so that property owners would not have to pay more than the actual cost price for this needed improvement. It afterwards developed that the estimates on the work had been too low and that he had paid privately for much of the work. He received no credit for this generosity, nor did he ask it, and those who knew him best felt that he was content in the fact that the town he had chosen for his home, was making progress in keeping up with the modern improvements which were starting to creep into the small town.He was among the first· to urge the paving of Main Street and the alleys, and although his property was to bear the brunt of the costs, there was much opposition to the project. Many felt that the project of improvement was way ahead of its time. He firmly supported the plan until it was a reality. In 1906, Mr. Weinhard sold his plant to A.P. Cahill and Mac Dunlap. The following year he built a home on the old Sturdevant homestead, one mile west of Dayton, which is one of the most beautiful spots in the county commanding a view of the mountains. foothills and the Touchet and Patit valleys. There he devoted himself to raising fine stock. He took particular pride in owning beautiful gaited horses, and gave his daughters many fine saddle horses with which they spent some of the happiest hours of their childhood. In 1912, he purchased an extensive grain and stock ranch in the Wallowa country, and he became greatly interested in stocking it. He built a modern home for his son, F. H. Weinhard and family, who was in charge of the ranch, for many years. Mr. Weinhard's generosities were numerous throughout the community. as well as in his family circle, but they were all very quietly done for he preferred that they go unnoticed as far as his name as donor was concerned. He lived within his own family circle, but he had many friends through the years, most of whom, he outlived. They remembered him as a wit in early days, and something of a sage, and a philosopher as the years passed. Mr. Weinhard has become legendary in the little town in which he was so quietly, so much a part.

He came to the United States in 1872, spendi·ng time in Portland, where he worked ·ror his uncle Henry Weinhard at his brewery, at Placerville, CA (where he married), and at The Dalles, Oregon, where he had an interest .in a brewery. In 1880, he arrived in Dayton where he founded the local brewery and made his home for the rest of his life. In conjunction with the brewery he ran what lo~a1 ads called the "finest bar room in Eastern Washington.n Weinhard reputealy introduced barley as a crop to local farmers. In addition, he built the Weinhard Theatre in 1903, providing Dayton with a place for travelling shows and theatricals as well asuthe Weinh~rd Block, i bri~k office and it~re building. Weinhard was a~ organizer of the Citizen's Bank in the early .the 20th century. In 1912, he purchased a large stock and grain farm in the Wallowa country, which his son ran. Weinhard sold the brewery but remained active ~n his other affairs until his death in 1941. ~ARRAl, ) SECTION . ) .. ,..

The well preserved house is characterized by broad sloping gables, shingle · siding, and the simplified classical ornament of the period. The house is also significant for its association with Jacob Weinhard, the brewer in Dayton.

Situated on Weinhard Hill, the home has a strategic and commanding view of Dayton, the valley and the distant mountains. The land was once part of Judge R.F. Sturdevant's homestead. This is a very large eclectic house. It is a gable roof house with full returns above and partial returns below. There is shingle work in the upper portion. The remainder of the house is stucco. The full front porch has plain round columns. They are supported by square conrete piers. A Palladian window is in the gable. There are double hung one over one windows, some on main floor with lattice work (which is removeable). There is a recessed balcony at the second floor with a cantilevered roof above. Modillions are expressed here as rafter ends. Double square columns support the.flat arch opening. Modillions are under the plain closed eave and at the front porch.

Passing through ash doors, the upper portion of which are ornamented with cathedral glass, the first thing to attract attention on the right_ hand is a very large painting of the Siskiyou Mountains, and according to the reporters notion, it is the best executed painting out of the twenty-four others, which adorn the walls. To the right of this picture, there are two small paintings, one in pannel, the other in a vine border, which for lack of something better, maybe termed, gems of art. Near the entrance and to the right, Mr. Weinhard has placed his roll-top writing desk, to the left of which comes a handsome sideboard and bar and lunch counter, all solid walnut. These articles of furniture are divided into three sections, between each of which there are paintings, one representing a small cataract, the other a frozen waterfall. So natural is the latter, that beer, will no doubt keep cool, by being in dose proximity there to. Over the counter sideboard, a grapevine bearing ripe fruit is painted, and over the side sections, a hop vine, as natural as life, twines about. The bar and sideboards are carved and paneled, the panels being trimmed in imitations of bamboo. The first picture to the left of the bar, is a panel representing a hanging basket of ferns. A magnificent scene of Mount Hood, looms up in such grand style, as will no doubt cause all old Oregonians to take off their hats and bow in honor of their landmark. A bunch of red roses next greets the eye, and we pass on to Multnomah Falls, with which all travelers on the Union Pacific road are familiar. Then an unfamiliar but beautiful mountain scene is passed, next to which we find the familiar scene showing the Cahill farm in the Blue Mountains. Hompegg Falls is the next place we arrived at, and had the lunch counter been open, the reporter would have camped and ordered refreshments. · A scene on the Columbia, in panel, which is a large painting representing an Indian camp, in the foreground of which, the Indians are indulging in the celebrated ghost dance. After another panel containing a bouquet of roses,. we arrived at a hunter's camp, representing a lonely cabin in the mountain forest, with the hunters getting ready for the days hunt. The next painting, shows a scene on the Touchet, looking East from the mouth of Crawl Hollow. In the picture, the artist caught the colors exceedingly well, considering that he copied from a photograph. Next is a picture of mammoth size, that at once takes the eye of the early settler. It represents, as Jacob says, "the way us Missourians came to this country". It shows an immigrant train coming through the mountains. In the foreground is a life size ox team and wagon, containing the whole family, a tired dog limps along at the side, and a man on horseback is pointing at something in the distance. As this picture is directly opposite the bar, he has no doubt caught sight of the Weinhard, and is telling the old man in the wagon to rush the cattle a little, as he has discovered a fine place to get a schooner, or perhaps, he is pointing to the next painting representing the Three Sister Mountains and two small panels, one painting, Horse Tail Falls, and the other, a camping scene, concludes the paintings. The ceiling is finished in a very artistic manner. The ground work, which is tinted in various colors and blended together, is crossed and recrossed with fruit bearing vines. At the corners and at various intervals along the border, small cupids peep down from their frescoed surroundings. The room is forty by eighty feet, and is wainscoted with ash panels, the centers of which are finished in bronze, in imitation basket weave. The furniture excepting the chairs, is all black walnut. There are two fine billiard tables, one pigeon hole and ten-pin table. Large windows in front, display "The Weinhard", in gold letters. tiJ.,uu,,, 3Jaf.i'U', ~ Mau,, S/JutJ ~ Mou - ~I,.

The main building is two stories, 3 5 ft. x 110 ft, with a four story kiln in the center. The entire building is made of brick and steel, at a cost of S 10,000. A Chronicle reporter was shown through the different apartments and was let into the secrets of malt making. And although it was found to be a nice clean business, he said he woa1d not start a malt house this season but will be content with sitting on the shady side of a schooner, while Jake ships malt by the carload. The barley room where the raw grain is put into huge vats to soak was the first place to see. The grain ~ then dumped into a cemented cellar where is is spread out and goes through a sprouting process. While in this stage, the grain needs constant watching to keep it from spoiling. As soon as it is sufficiently sprouted,it is shoveled into the elevator and taken to the fourth story of the drying kiln. The temperature of the room is kept at about 110 degrees, just warm enough to dry the grain nicely. When dry, a trap door is raised and the grain decends one story to a warmer room of 120 degrees, where it is prepared for another descent to an oven kept at 160 degrees. After the last roasting, it is sacked and placed in the malt room, ready for market. A switch has been built on the line to the door of the malt room, so that a railroad car can be loaded conveniently. In fact, everything about the house is arranged for convenience, so i;nalt can be produced at a low cost. The furnice and the engine rooms are in the center of the building, also the hoisting works, and is so arranged that one man can attend to it all, when in operation. Since the malt house has been running, Mr. Weinhard has shipped several carloads of malt. He has now on hand about 5000 sacks of malt and 6000 sacks of barley to be manufactured. Some six or eight men are employed about the malt house and brewery, which by the way, is running full capacity this season. It is brewed twice a week making .S'OO gallons at a brew. Mr. Weinhard is shipping considerable beer to Pomery and other points, and he is rushed to supply orders and keep up with the home demand. During the past six weeks he has shipped in and sold two loads of Portland beer, 3000 gallons, and has also disposed of 6000 gallons of his own product. The malt and beer business is getting to be quite an industry in Dayton. But there is a cause behind all this. Weinhard understands how to make good malt and beer and the farmers raise the best quality of barley. And last but not least, the inhabitants of the county are learning to drink beer in preference to anything else. · (?1"" JI- 7;1, c::z £""" ~y 111 °._ The brick building was the second I oldest in the city and was erected t,y '\VRINJUUD Tlll~A1'Im PJWG1tA1'£ Samuel Gilbreath shortly after ha was : 1mn 'l'ms wmrn. elected the first sheriff of Columbia i county In 1875.
