Date of Construction 1898
This 2-story frame house was built in 1898 for its first occupant, Pearl Havelich, who owned a cement contracting company and also was involved in residential real estate development.
After 1907, the house was the residence of Samuel Pickens, a local attorney, who helped organize the Indiana Bar Association. The frame house, itself, features clapboard siding, a symmetrical main facade, with identical polygonal bays on either side of a center entryway.
The front porch features fluted columns; those flanking the entry are of the Ionic order while the rest are Doric. Roof trim includes medallions under the eaves, with a row of dentil below. Decorative, carved wooden panels appear under the second-floor windows on the main (west) facade. Chimneys on the south facade feature corbelled brick and limestone trim. The roof is a massive hipped roof with gabled projections.

Death Certificate
Obituary - Indianapolis Star - Feb 9, 1944
Samuel Owen Pickens THE DEATH of Mr. Pickens, the oldest member of our church, brings sadness to us but not grief, for it meant rest and peace after long suffering. Mr. Pickens would have been ninety-nine years old in April. Until deafness prevented his hearing he was to be found in his pew each Sunday morning. At the services, Dr. Wicks spoke of him as having achieved eminence in his profession.
He had all the qualities that make for respect and regard. He was a gentleman in the finest sense of the word. Courtesy, consideration, unselfishness, helpfulness marked his character. Mr. Pickens was brought up in the Baptist church and for the last twenty years has been a member of All Souls
