About Artistry on Evans

Artistry on Evans is the perfect place to retreat and inspire your creativity. The retreat house was built in 1894 and still retains the charm of days gone by. Built in the Queen Anne style, the house features open porches, ornamental trim, original light fixtures, a servant staircase, and many other decorative elements.

William and Sarah Stout were the first inhabitants of the property. Before the Civil War, the Stout family lived in a red Greek Revival structure, which is still standing behind the main house. In 1894, their son, Herbert, built a much larger home on the front of the property, and they began using the red structure as a carriage house. The home stayed in the Stout family until 1910, and has switched hands multiple times since then. Rick and Kim are the current owners, and they immediately knew that this charming home would be the perfect retreat for all kinds of artists.  It is just waiting for you to make it your “home away from home!”
