Brown reached the high rank of being a 32 degree Freemason in the Scottish Rite’s Naval Lodge #4 meeting on Capitol Hill as well as the temple on K Street. Freemasonary was popular with local Southern men because of networking opportunities and benefits of charity work. This outfit was probably rarely worn.

Not sure if this fellow in plaid is a cousin or a fellow church member of Brown Greene, pictured on the right, but it looks like a picnic.

One of the many forgotten D.C. restaurants, but my dad, Brown, owned and was head chef of this fine establishment on 13th Street. Can you imagine 2 lamb chops for 35 cents?
