Probably built about 1839, it was home to a prominent local brickmaker, and forms a significant part of the landscape around the adjacent Richard Jackson House (c. 1690, now a National Historic Landmark).

It is set on the south side of Northwest Street, just east of the Richard Jackson House, and faces south toward a small orchard and the former mill pond, with its back to the street.

The main entrance has simple molding, but is framed by pilasters and an entablature.

Rogers, a native of Eliot, Maine, operated a brickyard on the land he purchased from Jackson.

There is some evidence that the brick used in this house, including some used as nogging, came from the Rogers brickyard, which began operations in 1839.
