The Fesenmeier Brewing Company was founded in 1899 in Central City by four brothers from Cumberland, Md. (Established by real estate investors in 1893, Central City extended roughly from 3rd Street West to 23rd Street West, from the Ohio River to the southern foothills, and was a bustling community of 5,000 residents. It also was home to a long list of businesses and industries. Most on that list, like the old Fesenmeier Brewery, are long gone, but at least one, Heiner's Bakery, remains. In 1909, Central City voted to be annexed into the city of Huntington.) Fesenmeier Brewing Company was located at West 14th Street and Madison Avenue in Huntington (where Big Lots is). It was composed of 27 buildings and took up a full city block. During prohibition years (1914-1934 for West Virginia), the company operated as a meat packer and ice packer. In 1968, it was sold and became the Little Switzerland Brewing Company. It was demolished in 1972. Date is unknown.

"This looks like a stable, most likely to board, ride and train horses," said Richard McCoy. "Note the jumping hurdles lined up in the center of the oval. There are no bleachers, so it was a private facility. There's a load of hay entering on the left." Date is unknown.
