Marker Text: ​The son of settlers who came to Texas in 1831, Joseph B.  Rogers (1833-1912) served with Terry's Texas Rangers in the Civil War. In 1869 he bought this land and in early 1870s hired local workmen to build this limestone house. Like many pioneer homes, it had a central hall and a chimney at each end.  The wooden porch was replaced with concrete in 1916. Rogers'  son, Martin Oldham Rogers (1899-1975), and his wife, Minnie Lea Posey Rogers, have preserved the structure. (1975)
