[2] During the 1910s and 1920s the Dickey Family lived in the house which in the numbering at the time was 38 Euclid Avenue.

John R. Dickey was an officer of the Guarantee Trust and Banking Company which was established in 1907 and was a Mason.

Interior designer Robert (Bob) Griggs and his partner Robert Aiken bought the house in 1969 and their renovation of the house sparked the conversion of Inman Park from a slum to a desirable intown neighborhood.
