601 Eighth Ave.
This building is a good example of the residential work of the architects, Enoch Evans and his son G. Norris Evans. This Tudor Revival Style (Eclectic Period) structure was built in 1925. The Tudor style was popular in the twenties and thirties. Architectural characteristics of this building include front cross gables, slant bay windows, Tudor arches and molded archivolts. The building officially opened in 1928 as the Loyal Protestant Home, a refuge for orphaned children. Prior to its 50th anniversary in 1975, it was renovated. After 55 years of long service, the Loyal Protestant Home was closed down. Since December 1984, this structure has been the home of the Royal City Christian Center.
