It was founded in 1904 to serve the town and those constructing of the Alaska Central Railroad, and has been the oldest continuously operating business in Seward.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1][2] It was announced in 2013 that the owners were retiring without finding anyone to buy their business.[3] Brown & Hawkins was a business venture between partners Charles E. Brown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada and T.W. Hawkins of Roanoke, Virginia. The two men met in Nome during the Gold Rush.[4] They first started business together in Valdez in 1900 before moving to Seward in 1903. Their business in Seward included a store and bank.[4] The store building began as a one-story {{convert|12|x|24|ft|m}} frontier store with a low false front in 1903. It evolved through four periods of construction to add and modify additional structures.[2] As of 2009 Brown & Hawkins was still owned by the Hawkins family, making it the oldest store in Alaska under the same ownership. The original Mosler safe and brass cash register were displayed in the store.[4] {{Multiple image|align=left|total_width=300|image1=Charles E. Brown.jpg|width1=2929|height1=3719|image2=F. W.
