604 N 4th Street was built in 1907 by architect H. L. Bonitz and builder R. H. Brady. This historic building in downtown Wilmington, North Carolina was originally built as a fire engine house. The fire engine house stood in this location from 1907 until 1971, when the station moved to Princess Place Drive.
Since its original use as a fire house, the building has been used as a boxing gym, a police station, and housed a special effects film company hosted by Legion Films.
Most recently, the historic building has been renovated and turned into a beautiful, new brewery in the heart of Wilmington. Edward Teach Brewery carries the name of the infamous pirate, Blackbeard. The pirate theme is carried throughout the 10,000-sq foot facility. The downstairs bar is built to look like the front of a pirate ship, just like the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” with curved lines, large windows, and hanging lights giving guests the feeling of being at sea.
