Just found this and am sharing: 825 W. Berry St. (George P. Evans House) Built c.1895, this brick Queen Anne house was first owned by George P. Evans. Behind the house stands a two-story brick carriage house which actually functions to house a carriage today. George was born in Hillsboro, Ohio on June 15, 1852, and came to Fort Wayne shortly before the Civil War. He was associated with his father, Amos Evans, in the firm of Evans & Company which sold wholesale dry goods and notions. He later formed the Evans Brothers Company, with brother John P. Evans and half-brother Oliver Evans, which manufactured overalls, hunting coats and other articles. He and his brothers were also associated with the Hoosier Manufacturing Company in Fort Wayne which manufactured such things as overalls, shirts and pants. By approximately 1905, the company was considered to be among one of the most influential industries of the city. George was a thirty-second degree Mason, a Shriner, and a member of the First Presbyterian Church. His father, Amos, was married to the niece of Asa Fairfield. George was still residing at 825 W. Berry St. when he died on August 5, 1925.
