It is located on a choice residential street in the College Hill area, which had been recommended as a historic district. It is also tied to Rogers, an early Macon citizen who led civic celebrations, and to his son, a business leader.","narrative":"Built in the 1840s at 337 College Street in Macon, this two-story wood frame house with narrow clapboard siding reflects the Italian Villa style. A one-story portico with slender square wooden columns wraps the front and part of each side, and ornate wood brackets support the roof overhang. The massive carved front door, said to have been made in Connecticut and brought to Macon by steamship and barge via Darien and the Ocmulgee River, reaches the porch ceiling. Inside, a central hall holds a black walnut stairway, and large rooms with high ceilings feature molded cornices, ceiling medallions and Italian marblized slate mantels. William Rokebaugh \"Rock\" Rogers, an early Macon citizen, built the home, and his son became a business leader in the city. The house stands in the College Hill area, a choice residential district, and contrasts in its quiet simplicity with the columned Dunlap mansion next door. Changes have been modest, limited largely to the front steps and rear.","period_of_significance":"c. 1840s","architect_builder":"William Rokebaugh \"Rock\" Rogers (builder/owner)","architectural_style":"Italian Villa","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition marked good and altered; the house was rented as apartments, the rear was renovated, and the front steps were rebuilt in brick.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:40.307575-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/72000372.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000372/b4d4bbe6b4-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72000372/b4d4bbe6b4-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Blastoids","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rock_Rogers_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Blastoids</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rock_Rogers_House.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"74000658","name":"Macon Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/georgia/macon-historic-district-74000658/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207089","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134127549"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/bibb-county/rogers-rock-house-72000372/"}
