The John F Hanning Distillery
RD #11, 2 nd District
Daviess County, KY

(Est. 1869)


Cecil suggests that the distillery was built, burned and then rebuilt within the same year by John Hanning. It was later (1889) sold to M V Monarch Co. and finally to the Trust (1899).

Insurance underwriter records from 1892 indicate that the distillery was frame-built with a slate of metal roof. The property included six bonded warehouses and one free, although the 1892 log notes that Warehouse "F" had been torn down recently. Cattle in frame pens could be found 150 ft north if the still house.

Details on the warehouses are as follows:
Warehouse "A" - frame, shingle roof, 200 ft SE of still house
Warehouse "B" - iron-clad, shingle roof, 300 ft SE of still house
Warehouse "C" - iron-clad, shingle roof, 360 ft SE of still house
Warehouse "D" - iron-clad, shingle roof, 100 ft SE of still house
Warehouse "E" - iron-clad, shingle roof, 300 ft east of still house
Warehouse "G" - partly iron-clad, shingle roof, 100 ft south of still house
Free Warehouse "A" - 4" brick veneer, shingle roof, 440 ft SE of still house and 50 ft east of Warehouse "C".
