The Brewerie at Union Station

Erie Union Station, home of the Brewerie.

History & local legend

The Brewerie occupies part of Erie's Union Station, an Art Deco railroad terminal that opened on December 3, 1927. The brewpub opened in 2006, and its published history includes the local legend of a young traveler named Clara.

In the story, Clara and her parents buy tickets on the first floor and begin climbing the marble stairs toward the train platform. Her father turns to check on her and accidentally strikes her with his luggage. She falls down the stairs and dies.

The Brewerie presents this as an urban legend and says paranormal groups have associated later unexplained activity with a young girl's presence.
