pairs, and the first-floor windows have been partially bricked up. Combined with the main brew house, it forms an L-shaped structure. The southwestern half is two stories, corresponding with the southwestern section of the main brew house. The first floor contains two garage doors, a metal roll-down gate, and small window openings above the garage doors. The facade has four windows on each floor. Part of the side elevation, facing southwest, can also be seen from the street and contains round-arched windows; the western corner protrudes outward and likely contained a smokestack. The rear elevation, facing northwest, cannot be seen from the street but has eight window openings per story, four each from the northeastern and southwestern halves of the building.

The LPC cites the main brewing house as measuring 150 feet (46 m) along its northeastern elevation, on Beaver Street, and 50 feet (15 m) along its southeastern elevation, on Belvidere Street. The original structure comprises the eastern two-thirds closer to the intersection of Beaver and Belvidere streets, with measurements of 100 feet (30 m) on Beaver Street and 60 feet (18 m) on Belvidere Street. The addition at 71–73 Beaver Street, also known as the cold storage house, measures 54 by 60 feet (16 by 18 m), with its shorter dimension on Beaver Street. 538: 175: 206: 281:. It consists of four buildings—an office, a brew house, an engine–machine house, and a stable–storage house—all constructed between 1872 and 1890 in the German round-arch style. The site is bounded by Belvidere Street to the southeast, Beaver Street to the northeast, and Locust Street to the northwest, with the address 31 Belvidere Street. The main brew house, the engine–machine house, and the office building were designed by Brooklyn architect Theobald Engelhardt, while the stable–storage house was designed by Frederick Wunder. 237: 685: 438:. Additions continued through the 1900s, including a 236-barrel container for cooking the brew, installed in 1906. The container, designed by Frank Stanley, was so large that part of the floor had to be cut out to accommodate it. When Ulmer died in 1907, the brewery had become one of Brooklyn's largest. The brewery had produced 3,200,000 US gallons (12,000,000 L) of beer a year at its peak. By the early 20th century, though, other breweries with larger and more complex machinery had been developed. 31: 458:
house was then sold in 1924 to another firm, and both the main brew house and the stable–storage building were resold multiple times in the 20th century, being used by various manufacturing firms. The Ulmer family continued to own the office building before selling it in 1952. The main brew house received a new sprinkler system, fire escapes, and exit doors in the 1950s. The Twenty Starr Street Corporation bought the office structure in 1962.

When the brewery was in operation, the machine house's second story had an ammonia machine that could quickly turn liquids into gases and vice versa; it was powered by an engine on the first floor. The engine building contained large boilers and a smokestack. As at Brooklyn's other breweries, the William Ulmer Brewery's boilers used several tons of coal every day.

Swift moved out in the late 1990s, and the office building remained unoccupied for several years, as Swift had declined potential tenants who wanted to make extensive changes to the exterior. The stable–storage building was converted to an apartment building in 2002. By 2008,

The beer was finally stored in extremely cold vats in the lower stories. To keep the beer cold enough for consumption, the brewery bought natural ice in large quantities. The 1881 annex was built to provide additional cold storage space. After the washroom and keg-filling room were built in 1885, these spaces were used to pour beer into 480:. By 2020, the residence was on sale for $ 4 million. At the time, the structure had been separated into two ownership units, each covering one story. The same year, G4 Capital Partners lent $ 10 million to the Rivington Company for the renovation of the office structures. The Rivington Company then applied to the city's 326:, where many German immigrants worked at the time. By the 1870s and 1880s, there were more than 30 breweries in Brooklyn.
