Society portraitist George Hick lived in this modest home from 1611 to 1624
Were you to find yourself in Los Angeles, you should book a tour to see the mansions of your favorite Hollywood stars. However, there are other places where talented artists lived that don’t get that sort of recognition. You might even have a former artist’s house on your block and not know it.
This discrete English house belonged to painter and society portraitist George Hick. He lived there back in 1611, and after his death, a plaque was placed next to the archway in his honor. You can see it below the stone arch in the bottom picture from 2021.
