Inscription.  German:
In dem etwa 1755 erbauten Anwesen befanden sich Gastwirtschaft und Bierbrauerei „Weißer Schwan". Es war das Stammhaus der Schwanenbrauerei Kleinschmitt AG, die 1978 an eine auswärtige Brauerei überging, welche den Braubetrieb einstellte. Im Jahre 1731 wurde unter dem Namen „Güldener Schwan" die Hausbrauerei erstmals urkundlich in der heutigen Zeyherstraße bezeugt. Die einst in diesem Hause etablierte Bierbrauerei wurde 1895 in den südlichen Stadtteil verlegt (Neuer Meßplatz). Im Anwesen an der Carl-Theodor-Straße wurde neben dem Brauerei-Ausschank eine Mälzerei eingerichtet und betrieben, wovon die unter Denkmalschutz stehende Malzdarre mit dem charakteristischen hohen Dunstschlot Zeugnis ablegt.
