I don't think the Austin-American Statesman was ever in the Brown Building. Their building was at Seventh & Colorado. I found some photos of it when it was finishing up construction and it says the photos were from 1936, so that would have been before the Brown Building was built.

The caption on the above photos say the people riding the sled are on Congress Avenue, but that can't be right. I think it's Colorado St. I don't know what building that is on the left hand side of the photos.
There's a couple more photos I wanted to post, but their advanced search option just went down. I'll try again later today.
