The John A. Evans Home

Built in 1889 for John A. Evans, General Manager of the Deseret News. The home was designed by prominent Utah architect, Richard K. A. Kletting. Richard L. Evans, a son, became an Apostle in the LDS Church and produced, wrote and voiced “Music And The Spoken Word” on the Tabernacle Choir weekly broadcast on CBS for 36 years.

Preservation Utah‘s “Kletting in the Avenues” Historic Homes Tour said:
John A. Evans, general manager of the Deseret News, married Avenues resident Florence Neslen in 1889. That same year, he commissioned Richard Kletting to design this elaborate Queen Anne home with its distinctive bell-shaped tower (a signature of the Queen Anne Style) and decorative posts and trim along the porch. But Kletting certainly didn’t restrain himself and incorporated extensive “corbelling” (the stepped-up brickwork beneath the gable), a delicate fanlight in the gable, an ornate column separating the arched windows in the tower, and – perhaps the most prominent – the carved panel above the entry. Members of the Evans family lived here until the early 1970s.
