Evans-Tibbs House, Victorian house in Shaw neighborhood, Washington, D.C.

The Evans-Tibbs House stands as a two-story brick rowhouse with iron railings featuring stylized harps at 1910 Vermont Avenue Northwest.

Built in 1894 by architect R.E. Crump, this residence became home to Lillian Evans Tibbs from 1904 until 1967.

The house belonged to Lillian Evans Tibbs, who performed as Madame Evanti and became the first African American to perform with a European opera company.

The property maintains its status on the National Register of Historic Places since 1987, ensuring protection and preservation of its architectural elements.

During a 1932 renovation, decorative iron railings with musical motifs were added to reflect the operatic career of its distinguished resident.
