Exclusively available for clients hosting events at King Mansion, this large and comfortable historic home turns a one-day event into a weekend-long celebration.

For King Mansion couples, the stone veranda and first floor of the home are perfect for rehearsal dinners or brunches the day after the wedding.
Evans Inn, nestled at 2233 N. Front Street, was meticulously crafted in 1925 for Berne H. Evans, a prominent lawyer from Harrisburg. Designed by the esteemed Philadelphia architectural firm of Willing, Sims, and Talbutt, this stone-constructed, picturesque home set the standard for homes across Harrisburg.
But less than 100 years later, owners had started washing away the historic charm. Under the careful restoration of Kristine and Alex Hartzler, Evans Inn saw a revival that unveiled its hidden grandeur. The removal of a 1960s addition restored the home's original facade, reclaiming its stature as a single-family residence on Harrisburg's historic N. Front Street. This restoration returned the home to its initial glory and earned the Hartzlers the esteemed 2017 Historic Harrisburg Association Preservation Award.
Today, the Inn is the perfect place to unwind before and after events at King Mansion.
Whether you stay inside the suites of the mansion or escape to Evans Inn, there’s plenty of room for you to stay a little longer, and savor your celebration.
