The former Andrick home at the northeast corner of 10th Street and 19th Avenue is an example of the Greek Revival style.
Joseph T. Dodge's inset map of Monroe on his 1861 Green County plat map indicates a structure at that site. It was labeled simply as "Andrick." That could have meant Judge Jacob Andrick, pioneer settler who first laid out "New Mexico" in the south part of town, or it may have been a brother, John H. Andrick.
Judge Andrick, whose original log cabin residence was located on what is now the northeast corner of the middle school grounds, left for Missouri and Kansas about the time Dodge was publishing his plat map.
The house later was occupied by Postmaster Felix Bennett and also, for a brief time, by Dr. C.W. Bennett and family.
