Title

The Evans House

Subject

This home is known as the Evans House because this two-story Victorian home was built by Ashburn entrepreneur John West Evans (September 27, 1844 – January 16, 1904) and his wife Ella Bohannon Evans (December 27, 1852 – February 22, 1910) who were married September 27, 1871 before coming to Ashburn.

It was designed by Macon architect P.E. Dennis. He had his hand in designing many Turner County beloved buildings such as the Methodist Church and the Courthouse. It was completed in 1897. The house was built with local heart pine. Per the local newspaper, The Ashburn Advance, the cost of the home was ~$6000. (Ashburn Advance, 7/6/1897)
