In September of 1929, the fine art gallery of Henry braxton opened in the vine street brown derby building, (which was originally owned and built for Cecil B. DeMille as a spec mixed use office building).

The Vine Street building shortly after it's completion prior to the Brown Derby moving in on Valentines Day 1929.
