OCURA received a $75,000 grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund to develop a business plan for the Lyons Mansion and the Brockway Center.
The Lyons Mansion, 300 NE Third St., is more often known as the Luster Mansion and was built in 1926 for S.D. Lyons and his East India Goods & Manufacturing Company. On the site, Lyons made his hair tonic, soap and perfume that was popular with Black residents across the U.S. Besides the home, the site has buildings where Lyon would manufacture his products. Lyon’s stepson, Melvin Luster, last lived in the home.
