Robert "Bob" Hicks House
Bogalusa, Washington County · Louisiana
The Hicks house is a one-story weatherboard house of about 1,590 square feet on concrete piers, built in the early 1950s in a blend of bungalow and ranch styles; the Hicks family lived there from 1965 to 1969. In those years it served as headquarters for the Bogalusa Civic and Voters League's executive board and for the Deacons for Defense and Justice. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 20, 2015, on a nomination prepared by Barbara Hicks-Collins. A civil rights museum is planned for the site.
