Details

Then: Dr. John M. Evans and his wife Jennie lived in the downstairs portion of this house, and the upstairs rooms served as the doctor’s office. Built in 1893, the Evans House is one of the oldest Queen Anne-Victorian homes still standing in Phoenix (Rosson House in Heritage Square is another).

Now: Phoenicians dubbed this “The Onion House” after its onion-shaped dome, and it is currently owned by the State of Arizona, housing various offices since its restoration in 1988.
