Evans' cottage

The Evans' cottage is a fictional location featured in the 1966-1971 ABC soap opera series Dark Shadows. It made regular appearances throughout the show and was a pivotal setting in several major storylines.

The Evans' cottage was the home of artist Sam Evans and his daughter Maggie. Like many of the homes in the village, the home was a studio for Sam to ply his trade. Following Sam's death, Maggie lived alone in the cottage for quite some time, but eventually relocated to Collinwood. When Maggie's former boyfriend Joe Haskell went to the cottage to collect her belongings, his werewolf cousin Chris Jennings broke through the window of the studio and attacked Joe, nearly killing him.
