Title: John Lane Evans architectural records, 1920-1982.

This collection is the primary archive of the architectural work of John Lane Evans. The largest part of the collection comprises architectural records of Evans's practice, including domestic, ecclesiastical, civic and commercial projects in and near Philadelphia and as far west in Pennsylvania as Harrisburg. In addition, the collection is rich in Evans's student drawings, which provide insight into the teaching of architectural design at the University of Pennsylvania during an important period. In addition to projects and collaborations of Evans's own firm, projects of other architects are also found in the collection. Evans worked in Paul Cret's office as a young man, and his records preserve 3 drawings he made for Cret's projects. As City Architect of Philadelphia, Evans supervised projects of other architects and engineers, and his project files contain materials related to projects of the following: Vincent G. Kling; Harbeson, Hough, Livingston and Larson; Wright Andrade Amenta and Gane; Supowitz and Demchick; George M. Ewing Co.; Stonorov and Haws; Hugh A. Stubbins, Jr.
