West of the Evansville Downtown Historic District is the Ohio River. Many of the buildings are located within the historic central business district, Main Street, and therefore, only the front façades are visible. Most of the buildings are over one-story in height and feature flat roofs with parapets, which is common feature in commercial buildings. The buildings located within the district primarily consist of commercial buildings, with a few buildings that were originally constructed as residences, community buildings, industrial buildings, and a few religious buildings. Construction dates span between 1855 and 1952 and primary architectural styles include Federal, Commercial, Art Deco, Chicago, Neoclassical Revival, International, and Streamlined Moderne. Cast iron storefronts with recessed doors are a defining feature of the Commercial style. The Hulman Building, also known as the Morris Plan (Central Union Bank) (NR 82000111), is an excellent example of the Art Deco style architecture found in the district. Vertical projections, smooth exterior wall surface, and stylized motifs are common architectural features of Art Deco. Additional commercial buildings can be classified as two-part block and three-part block commercial buildings, with many being vertical block multiple stories in height. Main Street represents the heart of the district, and boasts the greatest number of contributing buildings. Main Street features wide, tree lined sidewalks, lampposts, and a single lane one-way street that reflects a prosperous downtown. Many of the buildings are unaltered, except for first- story renovations on storefronts. Two fires destroyed many buildings on Main Street, and renovations after the fires included updating the facades with the popular International style of the time. Two additional fires occurred on Main Street in the mid-twentieth century. There are limited residential buildings within the district boundaries. One of the oldest buildings in the district, the John Henry Roelker House (NR 84001741) at 555 Sycamore Street, was built in 1858. The Federal-style architecture is not well represented in the district, making this resource significant. The automobile industry left its mark on Evansville in the form of garages, motor and tire factories. However, very few individual buildings are located within the district to represent this theme, only the Huber Motor Company (NR 84001715) remains within the district boundaries. Industrial automobile buildings are typically brick buildings with full-height windows and roll- up garage bays. NPS Form 10-900-a (Rev. 8/2002) OMB No. 1024-0018 Historic Resources of Downtown Evansville – United States Department of the Interior Downtown Evansville HistoricPut District Here National Park Service Name of Property Vanderburgh, Indiana County and State National Register of Historic Places 00000197 Continuation Sheet NR Reference Number Section number F Page 297 A few religious buildings, such as Trinity United Methodist Church at 524 SE Third Street, are present within the district. The same is true for institutional, civic, or community buildings, such as the Masonic Temple (NR 82000108) and the Central Library (NR 82000086), which currently functions as a children’s museum. At the time the Evansville Downtown Historic District was listed on the National Register, it had 38 contributing buildings and 20 noncontributing buildings. A total of 30 buildings were previously listed on the National Register. Two of the buildings, Connor’s Bookstore at 611-613 Main Street and Gemcraft-Wittmer Building (NR 84001704) at 609 Main Street, were demolished in 2018 for the construction of the Ford Center. SIGNIFICANCE: The resources within the Evansville Downtown Historic District represent the growth of the river city’s commercial center. The city grew gradually until the introduction of the railroad in 1860, at which time mass construction occurred. The accessibility to the surrounding area increased Evansville’s economy and new storefronts were established. The architecture represents the phases of the district’s development, such as industrial and automotive. The majority of the buildings within the district were built in the years between the establishment of the railroad and the automobile boom of the 1920s. The designs of local architects, Clifford Shopville & Co., can be seen throughout the district. Many of the resources feature an emphasis on horizontal lines, flat or low-pitched roofs, and windows that offer natural lighting. In general, the composition of the Evansville Downtown Historic District includes buildings associated with the commercial buildings, industry, community buildings, residential buildings, and religious buildings ranging in architectural styles from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century.

  • The Art Collection at Sunset Funeral Home & Memorial
    Fishing Under the Ohio Street Bridge Signed, limited edition canvas Giclée by Cedric Hustace the art collection at Sunset funeral home & memorial park Sunset Memorial Park has been a proud member of the Evansville community since 1948. The 2008 addition of Sunset Funeral Home, the only funeral home in the Tri-State area located in a cemetery, means unprecedented convenience and savings for the families we serve. Located at the highest point in Evansville, Sunset Funeral Home is truly an inspirational setting with breathtaking views over- looking the surrounding countryside. When it came time to select the artwork, we wanted our walls to tell a story to capture the flavor of the Evansville area and we embarked on a journey to find artwork depicting the area’s history. On that journey, we discovered that the city is filled with talented local artists. In fact, Evansville is listed #2 in an article titled “10 Great Towns for Working Artists” in the February 2008 issue of Art Calendar, a national trade magazine for visual artists. Making the final selections was extremely difficult as we found so many categories and artists we liked. Sunset Funeral Home is delight- ed to present to you our choices reflecting the area’s rich history and heritage for our permanent collection. We hope you like what we’ve chosen as you walk through the funeral home. Each piece includes a vignette describing the art and informa- tion on the artist. This program, which provides the same informa- tion, is yours to keep. If only the walls could talk—we think ours do and they tell a wonderful story of the talented artists in our area and their view of our little piece of this world.

    HISTORIC EVANSVILLE A Self-guided Tour of Downtown Evansville, Indiana Buildings numbered 58 and 59 have been razed since the first publication of this guide. Welcome to Evansville! It is with pleasure that I welcome you to historic Evansville, Indiana. This guidebook will provide information on some of the prime examples of historic architecture in Downtown Evansville. The Riverside Drive Esplanade and downtown's Main Street have recently undergone significant physical improvements in an attempt to revive the city's rich heritage as a "Rivercity." Period street lighting and benches, brick paving, renewed landscaping and diesel trolleys, (reminiscent of those used in the 1890's), have been installed to visually reinforce a turn-of-the century theme by enhancing the historic character of downtown architecture. We invite both our citizens and visitors to utilize this pamphlet as a guide to explore Evansville's irreplaceable historic resources in the downtown area. 4^c U&*&* Frank F.
