Evans Building 1902 - Georgetown, Texas

The public square in Georgetown, Texas formed the nucleus of the 19th century Texas county seat with the courthouse as the focal point of the city. The most frequently used plan in Texas was a block reserved within a grid of streets. The Williamson County Courthouse Historic District represents an excellent example of this form, for its plan remains unaltered and most of the 19th century commercial structures, built to face all sides of the square, remain intact. Georgetown's square provided not only a site for county government activity, but also fulfilled the economic and social needs of the small community. Containing continuous blocks of one & two-story, 19th century & early 20th century commercial buildings, this historic district is one of the most complete examples of the 19th century public square in Texas. The district also has important architectural significance for both the state and local communities. The majority of the buildings reflect the Victorian commercial style (1870-1902), while several others reflect later stylistic motifs — including Richardsonian Romanesque, Classical Revival, Beaux Arts and Art Deco. The Evans Building (circa 1902) is a two-story limestone building divided into three bays by pilasters of rusticated ashlar blocks. On the 2nd floor, each bay contains two flat arched windows joined visually by a round arch. A pedimented parapet displays the name "Evans" over the central bay along with the year "1902" a little lower in the same bay. This building along with many others in the Williamson County Courthouse Historic District are listed as contributing structures in the listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The district was added on July 26, 1977 and more information can be found in the original documents submitted for listing consideration located here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
