W.W. Evert, a charter member of the Highland Park Building Company and the father-in-law of Frank Hawkins. It is one of a handful of mansard-roofed houses in Highland Park and the only one with two stories.","narrative":"Built in 1872 in the northeast part of Highland Park, in the area once known as Port Clinton, this two-story house at 2687 Logan was constructed by the Highland Park Building Company for Rev. W.W. Evert. Evert was a charter member of the company and the father-in-law of Frank Hawkins. The house reflects the Second Empire mode, with a mansard roof and gabled dormers, long narrow rounded windows topped by hoods, and brackets between the floors. A bay window adds asymmetry, and the foundation is local brick. Its mansard roof dominates an otherwise modest form. Alterations include an enclosed front porch and shingle siding added over the original exterior. The house has remained a single-family residence, and it has had only three owners. It is notable as one of a small number of mansard houses in Highland Park and the only one with two stories, which explains its inclusion among the city's recognized historic buildings.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Highland Park Building Company","architectural_style":"Mansard - 2nd Empire","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still used as a single-family residence; condition rated fair, with alterations including an enclosed front porch and added shingle siding.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:35.337701-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/33/8912/28891233/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_IL/82002559.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002559/919b7413e3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/82002559/919b7413e3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Teemu08","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evert_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Teemu08</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Evert_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/28891233","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evert_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q85759951"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/illinois/lake-county/evert-house-82002559/"}
