Rogers Building, National historic site and commercial building on Government Street, Victoria, Canada.
The Rogers Building is a commercial structure designed in Queen Anne Revival style with large display windows and a prominent second-floor bay window. The exterior combines red-brick piers with white trim, decorative leaded light canopies above the entrance, and intricate tile and marble details around the doorway.
The building was designed in 1903 by architects Hooper and Watkins during the early Edwardian commercial development of Victoria. It received national historic site status in 1991 for its importance in showing how retail architecture evolved in the region.
The interior features curved glass cases and tall wall mirrors typical of early 1900s retail design, showing how merchants organized and displayed goods. These elements reveal the shopping habits and display techniques that were popular when the building first opened.
The building sits on Government Street in the downtown area where it is easy to view from the street and pedestrian-friendly. The exterior and entrance are fully visible and accessible for visitors walking past or stopping to observe the architectural details.
The leaded light canopies above the entrance are carefully crafted details showing early 1900s craftsmanship that visitors often overlook. These decorative elements deserve closer inspection as they display intricate design work typical of the period.
