[[Lucius Screven Brown]] ([[1874]]-[[1963]]) was a prominent Pensacolian who had a long career in real estate, banking and insurance. Along with his brother [[Hunter Brown]], he is part of the "Brown" half of [[Fisher-Brown Insurance]].

==Insurance & real estate career==
A native of Kentucky, Brown moved to Pensacola in [[1904]] and joined the [[Southern Insurance Agency]] as a manager. In [[1905]] he left the firm to start his own insurance company, [[Lucius S. Brown & Company]], setting up a small office in the [[Thiesen Building]]. His brother [[Hunter Brown|Hunter]] moved to the city a few years later and began working at the firm.

Brown began talks with the [[Fisher Real Estate Agency]] to merge the two companies. On [[January 2]], [[1909]], the Fisher stockholders held a meeting to decide which assets they would dedicate to the new venture. The [[Fisher-Brown Insurance Agency]] was officially formed on [[December 28]], [[1911]], at which point Lucius retired from insurance to focus on real estate.

==Civil service==
In [[1908]] Brown stood for election as [[Escambia County Clerk of the Circuit Court]], but lost.

He served the city on the [[Pensacola City Council]] and as assistant postmaster. A bond issue held in Escambia County in [[1912]] resulted in the paving of [[Cervantes Street]] and [[Mobile Highway]], and the extension of public water lines. This in turn intensified the residential building boom in [[Brownsville]], the residential area he initially developed and which carries his name.
