Madam Louise Scott is believed to be Newark, New Jersey's first black female millionaire. She launched her first business, a beauty salon, on Barclay Street in 1944. She opened more salons, a training school for beauticians, and her own line of beauty products over the next decade. By the late 1950's, Scott had become a leading figure in Newark civic life. In 1958, she purchased what became know as the Kruger-Scott mansion. The mansion was her residence and became the headquarters for businesses and the location for her Scott School of Beauty Culture.
