The Cotton Mill Apartments in New Orleans once housed the A.A. Maginnis Cotton Mill, which originally was home to the Fasnacht Brewery. Founded in 1852 by Swiss immigrants Louis and Samuel Fasnacht, the brewery was located on Poeyfarre Street and holds the distinction of being New Orleans’ first commercial brewery.
