The Frank Evans High School, completed in 1922, with additions completed in 1925 and 1928, is architecturally significant as an excellent example of the Collegiate Gothic Style often characteristic of educational institutions in the early twentieth century. The building is the combined work of two prominent architects and one significant architecture-engineering firm: G. Lloyd Preacher (a South Carolina native working in Georgia); the Boston and Spartanburg firm of Lockwood, Greene and Company; and Spartanburg architect J. Frank Collins. The original building and master plan for the site was designed by G. Lloyd Preacher and Company. The three-story building housed a corridor of classrooms on each floor, an auditorium, and a gymnasium. The 1925 classroom addition to the high school was designed by Lockwood, Greene and Company to connect to the south wing of the existing building. The addition added twenty six rooms. The intention of maintaining the same character as the original portion of the building, and the details and ornamentation on the façade addition make it virtually indistinguishable from the main building. The second addition, the new gymnasium and auditorium renovation, was designed in 1927 by J. Frank Collins. The school exemplifies the development of education in the city of Spartanburg. The new school was not only a symbol of the superior education in Spartanburg but also a symbol of the work of Frank Evans, long time superintendent and educator. Evans was recognized throughout the South as a leader in public education. Dr. Evans changed the name of the school to Spartanburg High School in 1933. The school was renamed Evans Junior High School in 1959 when the new Spartanburg High School was built. Listed in the National Register June 27, 2012.
