A fire that destroyed the preceding building on this site led to the construction of the Brazy Building in 1926. The Brazy brothers were locally renown furriers who were looking to expand their growing business. This four-story structure of brick and steel was built to be fireproof. With the first floor showroom, the upper floors were used for the manufacturing fur coats and other products, and storage of furs. This building has been remodeled at various times to add showroom space. These renovations included a cold storage vault and a manufacturing room that was increased to handle demand at the time.
