The Bevan House is a one-story L-plan structure constructed of hollow tile and clad in stucco. The gables of the wings extend to become a porch on the front and a porte-cochere on the south side, terminated by walls and Missionesque parapets. The house was begun in late 1918 and completed in 1919. John C. Ryan is listed as contractor on the mechanic’s lien. Lionel W. Bevan, owner of The Fair, a large downtown department store, was the first owner. The Bevans moved into a new, larger house in 1929 (see 2900 6th Avenue). The accompanying photo was taken in 2007.
