Character

Evergreen has a preservation-focused residential character with well-maintained craftsman bungalows and foursquares. The Evergreen Historic District Association (EHDA) is one of Memphis's most active neighborhood organizations, organizing events, a community garden, and design review for renovations.

History

Developed between 1890 and 1940 as a middle-class streetcar suburb, Evergreen was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The neighborhood retained more of its original housing stock than many comparable Memphis neighborhoods due to active preservation efforts and the stabilizing influence of Overton Park to the south.
