Evans House, Historic residential building in Phoenix, United States.

The Evans House is a 1+1⁄2-story red brick residence at the northwest corner of Washington Street and Eleventh Avenue in Phoenix. A semicircular front porch with a white balustrade and slender columns carries an onion dome over the entrance, and a curved white-railed stairway leads up to it. The ground floor holds seven rooms; the upper floor, reached by a separate exterior stairway, was Dr. Evans' office.

The house was built in 1893 for Dr. Evans, a Phoenix physician, reflecting the city's growing prosperity at that time. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 confirmed its importance as evidence of the city's early development.

The house is named for Dr. John M. Evans, who built it in 1893 and kept his medical office on the upper floor, reached by a separate exterior stairway. The seven ground-floor rooms served as the family residence, so patients and household life used different routes through the building.

The building is accessible to those interested in 19th century architecture and history, though you may need to arrange a visit through local preservation organizations. It is helpful to contact ahead to learn how to view the property before stopping by.

The upper floor, reached by a separate exterior stairway, served as Dr. Evans' office while the ground floor was the family residence. The 1+1⁄2-story brick house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
