This adaptive use of the 1916 Farmers Auto and Machinery Co. building is located in Bay City's Midland Street Historic District. The building was home to auto, clothing and furniture sales as well as a dance hall and warehouse before Hereford & Hops bought it in 1998 for use as a restaurant and brewpub. Our conversion included the complete rehabilitation of the structure and the addition of a stable to house the Hereford & Hops Bay City Shires, a team of registered Shire horses that appear at local events and give daily trolley rides.
