THIS COLONIAL REVIVAL RESIDENCE
WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1904-05 BY R. B.
ROGERS (d.1935), A PROMINENT LOCAL
MERCHANT AND AN ACTIVE CHURCH AND
CIVIC LEADER. THE ELABORATE STYLING
OF THE HOME FEATURES A DISTINCTIVE
TWO-STORY BALCONIED PORTICO WITH
MASSIVE IONIC COLUMNS.  THE THIRD
FLOOR AREA ORIGINALLY SERVED AS A
BALLROOM.  OWNED BY MEMBERS OF
THE ROGERS FAMILY UNTIL 1957,
THE HOUSE SERVES AS A REMINDER
OF BROWNWOOD'S PROSPERITY AT
THE TURN OF THE CENTURY.
