It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof, a large central chimney, and a center entry sheltered by a bracketed hood.
Long thought to have been built c. 1810, it has been carefully researched to date to the middle 18th century, belonging for many years to the locally prominent Rogers family.
[1] The John Rogers House, located at 690 Leetes Island Road in the Route 146 Historic District, was constructed on a rectangular plan with its ridge parallel to the street.
The grade level along the three-bay east eave-side of the barn gradually rises towards the north along the un-coursed un-mortared field stone masonry of the bank.
The east eave-side of the barn has an entrance off-centered towards the north through a hinged pass-through door and appears to have originally at least two window openings towards the south as suggested by the markings on the siding.
