History
[edit]It was built in 1898–1900, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, five-bay, double pile, Classical Revival style frame dwelling. It features a hipped roof with two hipped-roofed dormers on the north and south elevations and a temple front featuring a pedimented portico supported by Corinthian order columns. It has a one-story, flat-roofed, four-bay west wing. The house is situated on French's Hill overlooking The Homestead.
Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans (1872–1953) purchased Barton Lodge in October 1927, and renamed it Malvern Hall. Subsequent to her death in 1953, her Foundation made a gift of the Malvern Hall property in 1961 to St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Hot Springs.[3]
