History
The Essick House was built around 1891 in the Queen Anne Vernacular style. It was named for residents John (1875-1948) and Olive Essick (1881-1972) who cared for children and young adults in need. The couple married in 1906 and never had children. John was a bridge foreman for the M&O Railroad for 40 years. He was a member of the W. O. W., the Big Brothers’ class of the First Baptist Church, and was chairman of the board of trustees of the church.
The building is listed as a Murphysboro Designated Local Landmark.
