Info
Hockley Row – also known as Evans Row or Victoria House – is a set of four architecturally significant rowhouses, located in the Rittenhouse Square West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Design of the row – 237, 239 & 241 South 21st Street and 2049 Locust Street – is attributed to architect Allen Evans, partner in the firm of Furness & Evans. They were built as speculative housing by Evans's father, 1884-86, and the architect made #237 (SE corner 21st & St. James Streets) his own residence. Each features a rusticated stone basement level, with three brick stories above, bay or box windows, wrought iron railings, elaborately shaped chimneys, and shed- and gabled-roofed dormers. The house at #237 features a projecting, two-story, shingled corner tower; the houses at #239 and #241 share an entrance stair. The house at the northeast corner of 21st & Locust Streets has its entrance from the south, and is numbered 2049 Locust Street.
The houses were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
