Original Brown Derby restaurant on Wilshire Blvd under construction, 1926

Original Brown Derby restaurant on Wilshire Blvd under construction, 1926Here’s a rare shot of the original Brown Derby restaurant on Wilshire Blvd under construction, 1926. It was later moved to 3377 Wilshire, half a block east, but was first here at 3427 Wilshire between Mariposa and Alexandria. This photo also gives us an idea of how sparsely populated Wilshire Blvd was back then. There’s lots of empty fields and elbowroom—little wonder it was dotted with billboards, like that one we can see for Frigidaire.
