Tied house?

From what I've read, the West Side brewery was located at what is now Augusta and Paulina. I'm finding some anecdotal evidence that it had some additional operations at what is now Winchester and Augusta. Can someone help me confirm if the Winchester location was perhaps a West Side Brewery tied house, or if they performed some brewing operations there?
Thanks in advance!

Did Winchester have a different name at one point? The only references I can find are for the Augusta/Paulina facility which went over to Marshfield (then called Rumsey St).

Winchester was Dudley Street first (on this particular block), but was Winchester during most of the time period I'm refering to. I have some property records that identify the property being in the hands of both the City brewery and the West Side Brewing Company/West Side Brewery. The other tied houses in the vicinity are Val Blatz and Peter Hand related, but this property is much older. And it did serve as a tavern for a time. That's why I am interested to see if they were a tied house or perhaps a sub-operation.
Thanks,
Thanks,

What's the address of the Winchester property? I found a reference to the Stensen Brewery on Winchester, but the address would now be 1752 N.
