The Silas L. Brown House, at 107 S. Seminole in Wewoka, Oklahoma, was built in 1985. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

It was deemed significant for association with Silas L. Brown, the first black dentist in Wewoka, and as one of the oldest and best-preserved homes in the black community of Wewoka.[2]

It is a two-story clapboarded building, about 25 by 60 feet (7.6 m × 18.3 m) in plan, with a hipped roof and an offset gable on its front facade. It has a one-story open porch and a one-story wing.[2]
