Despite Last-Minute Bidding Flurry, Building that Houses The Brewer’s Art Restaurant and Brewery Fails to Sell at Auction for $1.45M

The former Mount Vernon mansion that houses The Brewer’s Art restaurant and brewery failed to sell in an online auction on Wednesday, despite a flurry of bidding in the last hour that culminated with a top offer of $1.45 million.

Alex Cooper Auctioneers handled the auction of the five-level, 23,400-square-foot building at 1106 N. Charles St., constructed in 1906 as a private residence and later converted for commercial and academic uses.

The auction was held as an online-only sale that began on March 29 and ended shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The owner is Bendixhq LLC., which bought the property for $1.774 million in 2018 according to state land records. With a five percent buyer’s premium on top of the $1.45 million high bid, the total cost to the buyer would have been $1,522,500. But according to the auctioneers, the seller rejected the offer.
