EVANS MANOR/BUNGALOW Idaho Historic Society Survey 1972 Condition- Excellent The Evans bungalow stands at the corner of N. Main and 200 North streets in Malad and is oriented toward that corner by a diagonal walk and an entry porch set at an oblique angle to the street. The exterior walls and pillars and the two interior chimneys are of dark brick, decoratively coursed. The exterior trim is light-colored stucco and wood; as often happens in the bungalow style, substantial emphasis is placed on the vergeboards, purlins and other wooden members such as the porch supports. The house is generally L-shaped, with the porch filling the intersection. A sunroom, flanked by pillars and low urns and its casements surmounted by a bit of "half-timber" adornment in the low-pitched front-facing gable, forms the shallow but decoratively conspicuous northeast wing. The complex roof system over the single story has gables of various descriptions facing in three directions and the swept line of the overdoor facing a fourth; it presents, in short, a most unusual profile. The interior of the house is even more remarkable than the exterior, for unlike the interiors of older homes, it is almost entirely unaltered. The extensive woodwork is intact: beamed and coffered ceilings, door surrounds, wainscoting, cabinets, mantels, and a basement stair-rail recalling the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright. The fireplace with its inlaid tiles and cast-iron door, the hand-painted dining room murals, the leaded and stained-glass casement windows, and the overhead light fixtures in living and dining rooms are as they were when the house was new in 1916. Other things to note The D. L. Evans manor is significant architecturally as an elaborate, expensive, unusual, and almost pristine example of the bungalow style. It is also significant in the social history of Malad as the residence of one of its foremost families; a family which, not incidentally, had a business interest in the popularization of bungalows. The elaborateness and expensiveness of the house ($8000 in 1915), and indeed its peculiar exterior profile, stem from the fact that it was custom-designed, unlike the standard mass-planned bungalows for which the Evans Co-op was energetically advertising working plans during this period. The Salt Lake architect responsible for the Evans residence seems to have been at pains to produce an original effect, and to produce also effect consistent with the importance of client David Lloyd Evans, Sr. (1854-1929). D. L. Evans Sr. was a pioneer merchant and banker of southeast Idaho and Malad. He was president of the J. N. Ireland Bank and the Evans Co-op; the business quarters of these enterprises make up the Co-op block, Malad's most impressive early commercial structure. Among D. L. Evans political activities were terms in the territorial and state legislature and tenures as president of the State Board of Education and as board member and director of the Idaho Insane Asylum, as the State Hospital South was then called. His son, D.L. Evans, Jr. followed him as president of the Ireland Bank and the Co-op. The D. L. Evans Jr.’s somewhat more modest bungalow next door was designed by the same architect and built in the same season as his father's. John V. Evans, who grew up in the smaller house, followed his grandfather to the Idaho legislature and in 1977 became the 26th governor of Idaho
