About this property

Myers-Hicks Place, also known as Holly Hill Farm, is a historic Greek Revival house near Byhalia, Mississippi, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Marshall County. The house is located along Mississippi Highway 309 outside Byhalia, a small town in Marshall County, Mississippi. Martine Pickett Myers acquired the land in 1850. The one-story house was built five years later, in 1855. It was designed as a temple, in the Greek Revival architectural style. Later, the house belonged to the Hicks family. The house was renamed in honor of their daughter, Annice E. Hicks. They converted a doorway into a window, added a kitchen in 1911, and later added a bathroom. The house was acquired by Mr and Mrs Henry Hunt III in 1968. It still belonged to them in the 1980s. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 7, 1983.
