107 Park Row
Rogers House (1907)
Decorative Victorian Cottage (Edwardian features)

The 1907 Rogers House was originally the family home of Captain Oliver Hazard Perry Rogers, a mate of the ship the Princess Adelaide. Rogers' sister was the principal of the Central Girls School. The style of this home appears to be transitional with features from both the Decorative Victorian Cottage and the more austere Edwardian Bungalow. Architectural features include the transom with multiple lights over the front entrance, wrap around porch with cross-gabled roof with centre gable, decorative fretwork at the base of the house and fish scale gable shingles. The house was restored in 1985/86.
