Ivan Krasimovitch died in 1906, a merchant of the 3rd guild of the town of Kuznetsk. Originated from exiled Poles. Founder of the Kuznetsk Brewery (1899). In the town of Kuznetsk, where Ivan Krasimovich lived for the last twenty years of his life, he built a large one-story house with a high semi-basement floor in the Bazarny alley (now Lenin Street) near his own brewery in the early 20th century. The house was the front building of the large estate of the Krasimovitches, which included a substantial garden. The furnishings in the house were distinguished by wealth and sophistication. It is sufficient to say that it was in the Krasimovitches' house where a grand piano first appeared in Kuznetsk. After the death of the elder Krasimovitches (Ivan Matveyevich and his wife Sophia Fabianovna, who died in 1910) the house was owned by his son Albin. During the first Sovdep period (spring 1918) there was a dormitory for members of the Sovdep. When the town was occupied by troops of Admiral Kolchak during the Civil War, there was an officer’s club. In the Soviet times various institutions were stationed in the building. It was demolished in the late 1970s in connection with the new development of the Lenin Street.
The brewery founded by I.M. Krasimovich became, in fact, the first industrial enterprise in Kuznetsk. There were up to 16 wage workers. The plant was the source of a good income for its owner, so that the Krasimovitches were among the richest merchants in Kuznetsk. The Krasimovitches, being Poles and Catholics, led quite an isolated way of living in Kuznetsk, rarely communicating with the local elite. The plant was active until the outbreak of World War I, when it was closed due to the introduction of a restriction on the sale of alcohol during the war. It remained closed until the middle of 1919, when it resumed its work for a short time. The new active phase falls in the years of the New Economic Policy period (NEP), i.e. in the mid-1920s, when the plant was leased to entrepreneur Vladislavsky. In those years Bavarian beer produced in Kuznetsk was especially popular. When the NEP was rolled back the brewery also cut its production. Later (in the 1950s) it was reconstructed and for several decades more the plant supplied the city and the region with high-quality beer. In the early 2000s the plant completely ceased its operations, its production premises were occupied by organizations belonging to other industries.
