History edit
Martine Pickett Myers acquired the land in 1850.[3][4] The one-story house was built five years later, in 1855.[2][3] It was designed as a temple, in the Greek Revival architectural style.[2][3]
Later, the house belonged to the Hicks family.[4] The house was renamed in honor of their daughter, Annice E. Hicks.[4] They converted a doorway into a window, added a kitchen in 1911, and later added a bathroom.[4]
The house was acquired by Mr and Mrs Henry Hunt III in 1968.[4] It still belonged to them in the 1980s.[4]
