Brown Building, Historic office building in downtown Austin, United States.

The Brown Building on Colorado Street rises ten stories high with a light-colored facade featuring clean lines and geometric patterns characteristic of Moderne architecture.

Former Texas Congressman Lyndon B. Johnson maintained his offices in this 1938 structure before his ascent to the United States presidency.

The Art Deco foyer preserves original design elements from the 1930s, including terrazzo floors and high ceilings that reach 10.5 feet.

The building contains 89 residential units with access to a fitness center, secure parking, and a rooftop deck, located three blocks from the Texas State Capitol.

Residents receive substantial property tax reductions through a Historic Building Tax Abatement program, as the structure holds National Historic Place status.
