Evansburg Historic District
Evansburg Historic District, Historic district in Lower Providence Township, United States
The Evansburg Historic District contains over 50 registered properties displaying Colonial, Georgian, Victorian, and Federal architectural designs across 1.5 square miles.
Originally named Hustletown in 1773, the settlement emerged from land purchased from Lenape Native American Chief Maughaugam in 1684 and developed according to William Penn's community plan.
St. James Church, constructed in 1721, stands as a testament to rural Pennsylvania worship practices through its preserved architectural elements and continuous religious service.
The district maintains privately owned properties in active use, allowing visitors to experience historical buildings while respecting current residential and commercial functions.
The Glebe House played a strategic role during the 1777 Battle of Germantown, serving as a support structure for military leadership in the American Revolution.
