It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on October 29, 1971 and later added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1972.[1][2]
The modest house was built in 1826 in the style of Federal architecture. It is recognized as the oldest residential structure in Lenawee County and one of the oldest in the state of Michigan. The house was built for surveyor Musgrove Evans, who originally platted Tecumseh in 1824. His house was Tecumseh's first residence and also served as an inn for travelers. Evans sold the house in 1858, and the house itself was moved from its original location to its present location in 1886. The interior was then converted into an apartment building, while the exterior remained unchanged. The house was originally located two blocks southwest along Ottawa Street and Chicago Boulevard, but it was moved to its present location on East Logan Street. Today, the house serves again as a single dwelling.[2]
The Musgrove Evans House is located one block away from M-50 and just down East Logan Street from the G. P. Sparks House.
