Rogers Building, Historical building on South Magnolia Avenue in Orlando, United States.
The Rogers Building is a structure on South Magnolia Avenue in downtown Orlando featuring Queen Anne architecture with pressed metal sheets over a wooden frame. The construction method gives the building its distinctive appearance and sets it apart from other historic structures nearby.
The Rogers Building was built in 1886 to designs by architect William H. Mullins, as recorded in its National Register listing. It originally served as an English Gentlemen's Club, known as the English Club, in the Queen Anne style. On July 7, 1983, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. It is the oldest building in downtown Orlando.
The building hosts several independent art galleries that display works by local and international artists throughout the year. These spaces have become an important part of downtown's artistic community and offer visitors regular exhibitions to explore.
The building is located on South Magnolia Avenue and is easy to reach on foot while exploring the downtown area. The galleries are open regularly and offer low or free admission for visitors interested in viewing the art exhibitions.
The metal sheet construction of the building is one of the few remaining examples of this 19th-century building technique in Florida. This unusual construction method makes it an important record of experimental architectural development during that era.
