Built around 1900 for businessman Victor Hugo Kriegshaber by architect Willis F. Denny, the home reflects early 1900s prosperity and craftsmanship. It earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, recognizing its architectural and historical value.
The house is named for Victor Hugo Kriegshaber, founder and president of the Atlanta Terra Cotta Company and a director of the Atlanta Art Glass Co. Today it operates as the Wrecking Bar Brewpub, so visitors encounter the former mansion as a working brewery and restaurant rather than a museum.
The Wrecking Bar Brewpub occupies the house at 292 Moreland Avenue NW, on the edge of Inman Park. The building sits close to the street, so look for the Beaux-Arts facade rather than a separate entrance. The brewpub is a working restaurant and bar, so visiting means going in as a customer; the historic rooms are seen from the seating areas.
Victor Hugo Kriegshaber, who built the house around 1900, ran the Atlanta Terra Cotta Company and was a director of the Atlanta Art Glass Co.; the building later became the Wrecking Bar Brewpub. It is listed on the National Register both individually and as a contributing property to the Inman Park-Moreland Historic District.
