The Oliver House opened in 1859 at 27 Broadway St. in Toledo as a hotel designed by Isaiah Rogers, an architect credited with helping establish the modern American hotel typology through earlier commissions like the Tremont House and Astor House. The building was later converted to industrial use in the 20th century, and today it holds the Maumee Bay Brewing Company and its brew pub, along with a café, restaurants, event spaces, and residential apartments. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, under the name Successful Sales.

From hotel to brewery. After decades as a hotel, the Oliver House was converted to industrial use in the 20th century. It has since been adapted again, now housing the Maumee Bay Brewing Company and its brew pub alongside a café, restaurants, event spaces, and residential apartments — a building that has cycled through hospitality, industry, and back to hospitality.
