Louis Noble Stott was named after his father's friend, the writer Louis Legrand Noble (1813-1882), an Episcopal clergyman who accompanied Frederick Church (After Icebergs with a Painter). He was educated at St. Paul's School, and would spend summers with his family at Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks. In the 1890s, he traveled to California with a school friend, Roy Rainey, where he met Ethel Doulton (1873-1959) of Santa Barbara, granddaughter of the founder of the English pottery firm of Doulton & Company. The two were married in 11/28/1900 at the newly completed All Saints Church, a few hundred yards from her father's Miramar Hotel. After their marriage, they came east to New York in anticipation of running the family woolen mills, living for part of one winter in the Gotham Hotel in New York City. With the sale of the mills to Julliard, LNS and his wife returned to Miramar, where they built and lived in the "Brown Cottage." LNS started his own brokerage firm, called Stott & Gane with an office in the old Potter Hotel on the waterfront. He did a pretty good business over the "wires" of Logan & Bryan, and about 1908 they offered him a position as resident manager in Los Angeles. They moved to 32nd Street about that time. Probably about 1913 they moved to Pasadena (760 East California Street), and in 1919 purchased the house at 441 South Catalina Avenue. LNS was made a partner of Logan & Bryan approximately two years later. About 1925, he left the brokerage business to form the California Organization Company, financing and assisting new companies. Throughout the years in Los Angeles and Pasadena, the family would return to Miramar or Santa Barbara during the summer months. He and his wife, and their three sons, are buried in the Doulton lot in the Santa Barbara cemetery.
