Inscription. This house was the home of three generations of the Ticknor Family, who greatly contributed to the development of Anoka. The architecture of the house incorporates design features of Gothic Revival (1867, design of original house) and the Queen Anne and Neo-Classic style (1901 remodel). The 1901 remodel left the center section of the house intact but switched the front and rear sections, giving the house a new, highly fashionable Third Avenue South address.
