The Vickrey-Brunswig Building was built in 1888. The building known as the Brunswig Annex, which faced New High St., was demolished.

Belonging to Lucien N. Brunswig, president of the Brunswig Drug Company, these buildings were among the largest on Olvera Street. For years the buildings were abandoned and their windows boarded up. As of 2006 they are the planned location for the Plaza de Cultura y Arte.
