Background and History of Byers-Evans House Museum

©2001CHS

Step into the past at the Byers-Evans House Museum. The house was built in 1883 by Rocky Mountain News publisher Williams Byers and sold in 1889 to the family of William Gray Evans, an officer of the Denver Tramway Company. This distinctive house museum has been beautifully restored to the period between 1912 and 1924, and it is decorated with the original furnishings.
