Rogers House, NRHP-listed in Volusia County
Rogers House is a residence in Daytona Beach, Florida, built in the Queen Anne style and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986. The structure displays characteristic features of this architectural style including ornamental woodwork, asymmetrical forms, a complex roofline, decorative windows, and broad porches.
The house was built in 1878 by D. D. Rogers during a period when the Queen Anne style was popular in America and elaborate details appealed to wealthy homeowners. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986 secured its protection and recognized its importance to Daytona Beach's architectural heritage.
The house takes its name from D. D. Rogers, its original builder, and reflects the tastes of affluent residents in late 19th century Florida. The ornamental woodwork and asymmetrical forms show how people of that era expressed their social standing and personal preferences through their homes.
The house is located on North Beach Street in a residential neighborhood and can be viewed from the street as it is a private residence not open for interior tours. The best way to appreciate it is to walk around the area and observe the architectural details from various angles.
The house was designed by its namesake D. D. Rogers and remains a private residence today, preserving its original purpose while many other historic buildings have been converted to museums or offices. This continued use as a dwelling makes it a living example of Queen Anne architecture in its original context.
