The house is named after a Cloncurry-born woman who was a dedicated community member and business woman who supported the Cloncurry CWA, and the Anglican Church Ladies Guild.

She was a pianist of local dancers and the Anglican Dazzle Balls and played at Clonagh Race Dances to help fundraise for the Queensland Ambulance Transport Brigade.

Her husband Jim represented North Queensland on the State board for QATB.

Mrs Scott began schooling at the Cloncurry State School in 1913 where her older siblings Bessie, Lillian, Arthur also attended. 

Charlotte returned to the region in 1929 and took a job at the Gilliat Hotel and later moved to McKinlay to work in a new hotel called The Union. 

She met her future husband Andrew James Scott in McKinlay.

They married in September 10, 1932 and Mrs Scott travelled with her husband to various shearing sheds in the Cloncurry area.

Mr Scott started his own shearing contractor business which he followed until his retirement in 1965. 

The Scotts bought a house in Ham Street, Cloncurry, where Mrs Scott lived until she died on February 8, 1992. 

Mrs Scott and her son Jim operated the Bio Café for 30 years, and the Bio Theatre for 20 years, and she ran these until she died.
