Brown Brothers

Brown Brothers & Company was a prominent real estate firm, founded in 1898 by Wilson R. Brown and Eugene L. Brown. By 1910 the company was the largest real estate company in the city and helped raise capital for the development of the First National Bank Building, the Woodward Building, and the Brown Marx Building, for which they also acted as rental agents.

Brown Brothers kept offices in the ground floor of the Brown Marx Building, which was named for Eugene Brown and Otto Marx of Marx & Company.
