D L Evans Sr Bungalow


  • Address: 203 N Main St
  • Travel Genus: Sight
  • Sight Category: Building

The Evans bungalow stands at the corner of N Main and 200 North streets in Malad, and is oriented toward that corner by a diagonal walk and an entry porch set at an oblique angle to the street. The exterior walls and pillars and the two interior chimneys are of dark brick, decoratively coursed. The exterior trim is light-colored stucco and wood; as often happens in the bungalow style, substantial emphasis is placed on the vergeboards, purlins and other wooden members such as the porch supports.

The interior of the house is even more remarkable than the exterior, for unlike the interiors of most older homes it is almost entirely unaltered. The extensive woodwork is intact: beamed and coffered ceilings, door surrounds, wainscoting, cabinets, mantels, and a basement stair-rail recalling the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. The fireplace with its inlaid tiles and cast-iron door, the hand-painted dining room murals, the leaded and stained glass casement windows, and the overhead light fixtures in living and dining rooms are as they were when the house was new in 1916. - NRHP, 26 June 1979
