History
[edit | edit source]Braun Building was designed by Walter Jesse Saunders and built in 1913. In 1979, when the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, Braun Building was listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
The building sold for $2.126 million in 2001 ($3.78 million in 2024).[2] In January 2023, a 68-year-old employee working in the building was crushed by a freight elevator and died.[3]
Architecture and design
[edit | edit source]Braun Building is made of reinforced concrete with a glazed brick and terra cotta facade.[1] The building's design is considered "clean and simple."[4]
