Regarding William Henry Luick Farmhouse.

The house represents an outstanding example of Italianate design, and a period of time before the gas boom era influenced the architecture of the community.…
The William H. Luick House was constructed in 1882 on a 108 acre parcel of land bounded by the Muncie and New Burlington Turnpike on the west, Smithfield Pike (now Memorial Drive) on the north, and White River on the east. … The land where the farmhouse stands was originally part of an 80 acre parcel purchased from the United States government by Lloyd Wilcoxon in 1831. The land, with 80 additional acres, was sold to Moses Brees in 1836. Mr. Brees sold the land in 1839 to John Fullhart. George Helwie sold the property to William H. Luick in 1879 for $3670.50…
The Luicks moved to a house at 1100 E. Main in the early part of the twentieth century, reported in the Muncie Star to be around 1907. However, William Luick retained title to his 1882 home until his death on September 16, 1927. The farm passed from William Luick to his three daughters.
