Scope and content
ca. 1935. Ted Brown Music Store; interior of newly decorated store. Pianos in the "piano salon" circle around the room and the window looks out on surrounding businesses' neon signs. The salon was capable of accommodating 20 grand pianos. The new Ted Brown building, 1121-23 Broadway, was located across the street from the downtown J. C. Penney store. The premises underwent a $4500 remodel to accomodate the music company. The lower floor was occupied by Ted Brown, which moved from its old location at 755 Broadway. Plans for the second floor included soundproof music studios available for rent by music instructors and a 200 person recital hall. The mezzanine contained practice rooms and offices. Ted Brown Music Store was established in 1931 by Ted W. Brown. (T. Times 11/29/1934, pg. 5; 1/1/1935, pg. 9)
