- Thomas Conaty was a well-known national orator and former Rector of The Catholic University of America. In 1911, Fr. Conaty, bishop of the diocese of Monterey-Los Angeles, helped opened Los Angeles College. The Brownson House assisted underprivileged and immigrant families in the city, providing them with educational, vocational and social programs such as student clubs, Sunday school, dances, and sporting events. Brownson House was originally located in a rented cottage on Aliso St., but moved to a new facility on Jackson St. in late 1904 or early 1905.
