Brooks Brothers used to occupy the ground floor of the Brockman Building. Beautiful store. I spent a ton of money there. Blair's restaurant, a favorite for decades, was just to the south.
Main building: Barnett, Haynes, and Barnett (1912)
Annex: Dodd & Richards (1917)
It's on the National Register.

That was the Third Church of Christ Scientist on Hope. It's gone but the Reading Room is still there.
