History of the Glick
Mansion
| The Glick Mansion and grounds came together under
one ownership over a period of 39 years. George Glick who
was responsible for the construction of the home, moved from
Fremont County Ohio to Atchison, Kansas in the spring of
1859 with his wife Lizzie Ryder Glick, son Frederick H. and
daughter Jennie. George established a law practice in
partnership with the Honorable Judge Alfred G. Otis in
Atchison under the firm name "Otis & Glick". The Victorian
Mansion was erected after Mr. Glick purchased lots number 6
and 7 in April 1873 for 950.00 and razed the existing
structure. His wife Lizzie purchased the northerly adjoining
lots 4 and 5 in July 1879, and judging by the purchase price
of $1,000 dollars these lots also had a structure on them
that was razed. Mr. Glick became active in farming and stock
raising in 1874, his 600 acre "Shannon Hill" farm was well
known in eastern Kansas. Mr. Glick was elected to the
Kansas Legislature in 1862 and served 14 of the next 18
years in that post. Mr. Glick remained active in the
political arena and was elected as Governor of Kansas in
1882 serving one term. |
