Title, date, and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The store is named for Hiram "Hye" Brown, who opened a store on this site in 1880. The present structure, replete with Bavarian metalwork, was constructed in 1923. At age 4, Lyndon Johnson, who spent his first five years at the nearby ranch now known as the "LBJ Ranch," made his first postal purchase at the store.
