John A. Brown was an Oklahoman department store chain. It operated under that name from 1932, when its founder bought out its predecessor and renamed the chain for himself. After Mr. Brown died in 1940, his widow took over management until her own death in 1967, forcing a change in ownership. Dayton-Hudson, another retail company, continued operating the chain under the Brown name, until 1984, when Dayton-Hudson sold the Brown chain to Dillard's, another national chain, which combined all of the Brown stores under its own name. The flagship store on West Main Street was closed in 1974 and was subsequently razed as part of an urban renewal project. The project was supposed to result in a new shopping center known as the Galleria. However, the project was never completed, so the Brown chain never returned to downtown.

The history of Lincoln, Nebraska began with the settlement of the village of Lancaster in 1856. The county of Lancaster was founded in 1859. Prior to settlement from the westward expansion of the United States, Plains Indians, descendants of indigenous peoples who occupied the area for thousands of years lived in and hunted along Salt Creek. Settlers first came to extract salt from the wild salt flats of Salt Creek. Nebraska was granted statehood March 1, 1867. Soon afterwards a commission created by the State was appointed to locate the State Capital on State lands. The village of Lancaster was chosen for the Capital of Nebraska. The village of Lancaster became Lincoln. Lincoln was named after Abraham Lincoln. The first State Capitol was completed in 1868. Lincoln incorporated on April 1, 1869.

George A. Berlinghof and Ellery L. Davis, Nebraska based architects, were inspired by neoclassical style and the architecture of the Chicago skyscrapers. After working in Beatrice, Nebraska, Berlinghof moved to Lincoln and started his influential relationship with Davis. Berlinghof gave Davis the credibility to launch his career. During their partnership (1911-1917), they designed more than twelve buildings together, most of which are still in use to this day, solidifying their importance in American Midwest architectural design of the early 20th century. They were a major part of the move towards historicism in Nebraska. By bringing neoclassical and romantic, victorian architecture back, the firm started a trend of design that referenced former architectural periods in Lincoln and surrounding areas.. Berlinghof and Davis worked together for a period of 6 years, wherein they designed many note-worthy structures for Nebraska that are still in use today including Lincoln High School, Miller and Paine Department Store and the Security Mutual Building.Most of the buildings designed by the Berlinghof and Davis Firm are still in use today. Though some, like the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Law Building, have been remodeled and repurposed, the outer facades still remain as tribute to the original design. Some of their designs are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and many drawings and plans are kept by the Nebraska Historical Society. Though the firm of Berlinghof and Davis was disbanded shortly after conception, the amount of work achieved in that time was not only impressive in quality but also vast in volume.
