Work is progressing at a lively rate on S. H. Evans\' new house which he is building on his Hargadine Street property. The house will have nine large rooms besides a spacious basement and a commodious bathroom, and the cost will probably be about $3,000.\" (Ashland Daily Tidings 4/30/06)\r\n\r\nSamuel Evans and his wife lived in the house fives years and then sold it to Herman and Frederika Mattern. Herman Mattern came from Colorado to serve as superintendent of the Ashland Mine. The Matterns lost all their money in the 1929 stock market crash and were forced to sell the house. The property is remembered by long-time Ashland residents as a gracious, well landscaped location in the community. (See Atwood, National Register Nomination 1979)
