Visit the Historic House

The house at 2027 Taylor Street was once the residence of Matilda Arabella Evans, the first female African-American physician in Columbia. Built sometime between 1910 and 1919, the vernacular house went through a myriad of early owners, most of whom were employees of the nearby Southern Railroad Company, before the Evans family occupied the residence.

The Brainiest Negro in South Carolina

"State Newspaper, Jan 10th 1910"


" If Columbia physicians were asked to name the South Carolina negro who had been of most service to the colored race, his answer would undoubtedly be Dr. Evans of the Taylor Lane Hospital.”

Matilda A. Evans is a remarkable woman. When only eight years old she determined to make the practice of medicine her lifework and toward this end bent all her wonderful energy. While living in Aiken, her hometown, she attracted the attention of Miss Martha Schofield, a Northern woman who was the founder of the Schofield colored normal and industrial school, and institution which has done much toward uplifting the negro race.
