Joe Engler grew up in Evansville and thought the old building in town looked cool but it didn't go much beyond that. After buying an old bungalow on the west side of town, he began researching the home's history and restoring it in the arts and craft style. Several trips to Willard Library produced old photos and articles about sites he had seen and some he never knew existed. Joe really became fascinated with how much the city has changed and determining what buildings stood where. After numerous trips to the libraries, he began to document churches, schools, and stores and mapping various sites. His research lead to the development of HistoricEvansville.com, through which he hopes to bring the historic side of Evansville to a new generation. Contact Joe at jengler@historicevansville.com for any questions or to share a historic photo or fun fact.
