It is also tied to C.W. Deen, a leading landowner and naval stores operator. It served as a center of Baxley social life under the Deen and Rogers families.","narrative":"Built between 1894 and 1897 on North Main Street in Baxley, this two and one-half story frame house shows Queen Anne detailing in a late-Victorian form. It has wraparound porches, a second-story balcony, five projecting gables, stained glass windows, corbeled chimneys and varied shingle work. Inside, a central stair hall plan is finished in heart pine, including rare curly heart pine in the stair, wainscoting, and dining room cabinetry. Local builder and architect Joseph J. Johnson designed it. The house was built for C.W. Deen, a naval stores operator who was also active in banking, farming and real estate and who owned more land than anyone else in Appling County in 1908. Later owners W. Hughes Rogers and Carrie Rogers continued the house's role as a social center. It is described as the largest and grandest Queen Anne-style house of its period remaining in the county, and it was listed for architecture, commerce and local history.","period_of_significance":"1894-1897","architect_builder":"J.J.
