[edit] J.H. Rogers
Rogers settled in Sycamore in 1858. He was a highly respected dry goods merchant and associate of George R. Wild. Wild's House is another of the Sycamore Historic District's notable homes. Later in his dry goods merchant career he worked without Wild.[1]
[edit] House
This circa 1890 home is a blend of Queen Anne style and Romanesque Revival architecture.[2] The distinctly Queen Anne turret on the home's northwest side is offset by the distinctly Romanesque arch over the front doorway.
