Today the 5O-year-old attorney
d Jewish community leader
stands out as one of the front-rank
developers of this mushrooming
desert metropolis.
In the past year or two he was
a prominent figure in the building
of the luxurious Cadillac Apart
ments on East Thomas Road, the
equally posh Sands Motor Hotel at
1920 E. Van Buren and the Sky
Riders Hotel at Sky Harbor Air
port. The latter is the first pri-
vately-owned airport hotel in the
nation and brought widespread
publicity both to Phoenix and to
its builder.
major investors in Paradise Val
ley and developed a subdivision
one mile west of Scottsdale and a
mile north of Shea Blvd.
BORN AND EDUCATED in De-
troit, Brown emerged from law
school when he was only IS. He
was too young to practice, SO he
went back and obtained his mast
er's degree at the University of
Detroit. Then he practiced there
five years before coming to Phoe-
nix in 1881 for his health.
Anti-semitism, Wickenburg-style,
sent Brown into his first Arizona
business venture. He and an old
school friend tried to get reserva-
tons at a dude ranch in the Wick
enburg area What he didn't know
was that all of Wickenburg'S dude
ranches were then-as they still
are-closed to Jews.
The incident gave Brown and his
friend the idea of operating dude
ranch catering to a Jewish Glen
tele So they bought the old How
ard ranch (now Casa Manana at
Cave Creek. But the project wasn't
a success. They sold the ranch 10
years later.
MEANWHILE, BROWN took the
Arizona bar examination and eS-
tablished a law practice in 1888.
He also plunged into the problem
of legal reforms in Arizona. He
drafted remedial legislation in the
field of insurance laws, helped
push them through the legislature
and then, as assistant attorney
general, helped enforce them.
A few years ago Brown threw
himself into another cause-t h e
building of new Jewish Commun-
ity Center in Phoenix. The first
meeting to discuss the project was
held in his office, and Brown
became chairman of the site
committee and, in turn, president
of the Center board, a post he still
holds. He also took a prominent
part in the negotiations whereby
half the land on which the Center
is located at 10th ST. and Camel
back Rd. was donated to the COM
munity. The value of the property
has gained substantially in t h e
short period since the Center was
built.
The Little Theater likewise has
attracted Browns interest. He has
played numerous roles and took
the lead in the production of "Once
in a LIFETIME, which marked the
dedication of the Little Theater
building.
In 1851 Brown toured Europe and
Israel. In the latter country he
visited his father, who has since
died.
