L. B. BROWN HOUSE, BARTOW | Victorian Mansion built by a Former Slave in Central Florida

The L.B Brown House is a physical legacy left behind by a former slave who defied the odds, and became an incredibly successful Florida business leader. It is possibly the only remaining house in Central Florida built and owned by a former slave. Lawrence B. Brown was born in Alachua County during the last decade of slavery. Following the end of slavery in 1865, his family moved to Volusia County, where Brown would go on to marry, and acquire a considerable amount of property. This self-taught master carpenter began to shape his destiny by building multiple homes on his property and either renting or selling them. The street that bordered his property was even named “Lawrence Street” in his honor.
