Lola and Angelo C. Scot built this house in 1915. A native of Kansas, Angelo earned the bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Kansas, then completed a law degree at George Washington University where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa. In 1885 he established a law practice in Iola, Kansas, but the promise of the land run lured him south. On April 22, 1889, comfortable aboard a special train, Angelo made the land run and founded Oklahoma City's first newspaper, the Oklahoma Journal, later renamed the Oklahoma City Times.

Earning widespread respect, Angelo was chosen a member of the first arbitration board to settle land disputes. He became a land commissioner, was elected to the Territorial Senate, served as president of Oklahoma A&M from 1899 to1908, and became head of Epworth University Graduate School from 1908 to 1915.He then became Director of Extension Lectures at the University of Oklahoma, a position equivalent to elder statesman.

After moving into the house on 16th, Angelo and Lola were social and cultural leaders of Oklahoma City and were involved in literary clubs and musical programs. Angelo added to his contributions by writing one of the most touching histories of Oklahoma City ever published. He also used his retirement years to write a practical guide to the English language. Angelo died in 1948, followed by Lola eight years later.

The house was then purchased by Carolyn “Katie” and William “Bill” Brown who put on a new roof, redecorated, and added a bath downstairs. They had five children, Randy, Sandy, Mike, Brenda, and Billy.

Katie was born June 6, 1929,in Gotebo, Oklahoma. Bill was born on a Cleveland County farm in 1906. He took a job at the Wonder Bread factory, where he rose to supervisor. In 1947 he opened his own bakery at 13th and Robinson and in 1972 expanded into the vacated Veazey's Drug Store on the corner. In 1992 Brown’s Bakery moved to NW10th and Walker, the former location of Clyde’s Supermarket and TG&Y. Four generations helped run the family business for 77 years. Beloved by the community, the bakery was known for their applesauce donuts, sour cream donuts, and cake decorating. Many residents of the city recall the bakery making their special decorated birthday and wedding cakes. Katie was also a charter member of the OKC chapter of Sweet Adelines and traveled throughout the US and London for competitions for over 40 years. She died on August 4, 2014, at age 85. Brown’s Bakery closed July 8, 2023.
