Between 1904 and 1949, four members of the Lemp family died by suicide inside the home, and the once-thriving brewery was shuttered. The mansion now operates as a restaurant and inn where guests report apparitions of the Lemp family, doors that lock and unlock on their own and a persistent feeling of sorrow throughout the building.
