Nichols-Rice-Cherry House
This Greek Revival house was built about 1850 by New Yorker Ebeneezer B. Nichols. Between 1856 and 1873 it was owned by financier William Marsh Rice, whose estate helped create Rice Institute (now Rice University) in 1912. In 1897 the house was saved from demolition by Emma Richardson Cherry and moved from its downtown site. In 1959 it became the first house to be moved into Sam Houston Park.
