Life and career


Stott was born on December 27, 1889, in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

He married Agnes Cornelia Russell (1891–1982), with whom he had at least one child: son, Russell Frederick Stott (1922–2005). He was a Harvard University graduate, and was in the Construction Division of the United States Army during World War I.

In 1919, Stott opened an office at 216 Kennedy Building in Omaha, Nebraska. He was formerly with John McDonald. He lived with his wife at 411 N. 40th Street.

The St. John African Methodist Episcopal Church in Omaha, completed in 1921, is "widely regarded as a quality example of the Prairie style of design". It is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Stott was elected to the American Institute of Architects by 1925.

The following year, Stott designed the M. E. Smith Building in the Jobbers Canyon Historic District in Omaha. All but one of the 24 buildings in the district were demolished in 1989, the largest National Register historic district loss to date.
