by the Granville Historical Society:

Evan D. Evans built this home in the 1860s, and he owned it as late as 1874. Born in Llangelen, Carmarthen Shire, South Wales, on September 28, 1828, he worked as a shepherd boy until old enough to be apprenticed to his elder brother, when he became a master carpenter and house-joiner. He came with his family to the United States and Granville in 1861. He was a convert to the Baptist Church, remaining a member until his death in 1895. Evans was one of Granville’s oldest Welsh citizens.
