Hicks House Preservation
A historic resource study with a photo of May Hicks is shown on Tuesday outside the home where she lived on South Leroux Street. Due to planned housing development, it is hoped that the house can be moved instead of demolished in order to preserve it.

The house that has stood for over 100 years was the home of Flagstaff resident May Hicks, who in 1911 sewed the flag at the behest of her then fiance Frank Curtis and Arizona National Guard Captain Charles Harris.
