Brown & Hawkins Store, Commercial building in Seward, United States.

Brown & Hawkins Store is a commercial building in Seward with large display windows, a centered front entrance featuring transom windows, and exterior stairs accessing the upper level. The structure displays typical early 1900s retail architecture with distinct separation between the ground floor sales area and the residential section above.

Founded in 1904, the business supplied workers of the Alaska Central Railroad and residents with essential goods during the territory's development period. It played a key role in supporting the economic growth of Seward as the railroad construction advanced through the region.

The store was a partnership between Charles E. Brown of Montreal and T.W. Hawkins of Roanoke, Virginia, who met in Nome during the Gold Rush and first traded together in Valdez in 1900. As of 2009 it was still owned by the Hawkins family, the oldest store in Alaska under the same ownership. The original Mosler safe and brass cash register were displayed inside.

The store stands on Fourth Avenue in downtown Seward, near the corner with Washington Street, within walking distance of the Alaska SeaLife Center and the small-boat harbor. The building was sold in June 2019 to Jeffrey and Michelle Cobble, the first transfer of the lot out of a founding family's hands. Check locally for current opening hours before visiting.
