It was built in 1908 to 1909 for William T. Vogler.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the cottage is one of the few remaining houses from the Roaring Gap Summer Resort Company and the only one of the founders' houses still standing alongside the Hugh Chatham Cottage. It is presented as an early example of mountain resort recreation and as a well-preserved example of early 20th century resort architecture and local craftsmanship. Its link to Vogler, a founder who supervised the first Roaring Gap Hotel, is also cited.","narrative":"Built in 1908 and 1909 on a steep mountainside at Roaring Gap, this one and a half story frame cottage faces east over the Yadkin Valley. It has a wrap-around porch, yellow weatherboard walls, a standing seam tin roof, and Queen Anne influences such as a stained glass window and a turned-post staircase. William Theodore Vogler, a Winston-Salem jeweler and a founder of the Roaring Gap Summer Resort Company, supervised its construction. Vogler had also overseen the building of the first Roaring Gap Hotel in 1893. The house is regarded as one of only a few remaining houses from the resort's founding years and as a well-preserved example of early mountain resort architecture. Its interior, including chestnut beams, pine woodwork and hand-made furniture, is described as largely original. The listing reflects its association with the development of the resort, Vogler's role in its founding, and its craftsmanship.","period_of_significance":"1908-1926","architect_builder":"Vogler, William Theodore (builder); Fogle Brothers Lumber Company (plans, probably)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["A","B","C"],"status_note":"The cottage remains in the Vogler family and is described as having had only minor alterations, with the interior and furnishings largely intact.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:41.779972-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/22/7189/47718922/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/91001492.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47718922","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_T._Vogler_Cottage","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17560654"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/alleghany-county/vogler-william-t-cottage-91001492/"}
