Lucius Screven Brown
Born 1874
Died 1963
Occupation Realtor, banker, insurance, city councilman, assistant postmaster


Lucius Screven Brown (1874-1963) was a prominent Pensacolian who had a long career in real estate, banking and insurance. 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.
