The Brown Brothers Building becomes a time machine as interior demolition unexpectedly uncovers preserved newspaper sheets within the structure, offering a direct connection to the building’s past. Crew members carefully remove interior materials to reveal intact newspaper pages, including editions of The Clearwater Sun found nailed to the back of a door during an earlier phase of the building’s use.
Originally constructed in 1924 as the Jackson Building, the Brown Brothers Building has served downtown Clearwater for decades as a retail and social hub. These newly revealed materials provide a tangible record of that evolving history, captured within the building itself. Work continues as crews document findings and advance interior demolition in preparation for restoration.
