History of Browne Tower

Named in 1913 by Archdeacon Stuck (1921, p.72) for Belmore Browne, 1880-1954, artist, author, and explorer, who, with H. C. Parker and Merl LaVoy, almost reached the south summit of Mount McKinley [Denali] on July 28, 1912, having been turned back by a storm (Farquhar, 1959, p. 227).
