Summary
[edit]DescriptionSnow Rogers House, c. 1898. Photo 5.jpg |
English: Snow Rogers House was built in 1898 by Thomas “Snow” Rogers (1870-1937). It is an excellent example of a late 19th century residence, and it is located in Morris, Alabama.
Snow Rogers was a vital contributor to soil preservation with the federal government and the coal industry in Alabama as owner of many coal mines in the area. Rogers was also very involved in supporting education in Jefferson County, as he and his wife, Rosa “Ella” Rogers (1867-1962), were Jefferson County Board of Education Members. They extended the home as a boarding house for early educators of Jefferson County and occasionally offered the home as an alternative classroom for ill students. Snow Rogers Elementary School in Gardendale bears the name because of Snow’s support for the school and donation of land. The George M. Rogers Area Vocational School (later renamed Gardendale High School) was named for one of Snow and Ella’s sons, George Merritt Rogers, who grew up in the home and became President of the Jefferson County Board of Education. Snow Rogers supported the Morris community in many ways. He owned Rogers Livery Co. which provided daily transportation between Morris and Birmingham. Rogers also owned a saw mill that was located directly across Morris Majestic Road from the home. The lumber used to build the home was milled there, but lumber was also milled there and then sold or given to build structures such as homes, schools, barns, coal mining shafts, businesses, and churches in the area. The Snow Rogers House remained in the family’s possession for 91 years. Snow and Ella’s children were Lizzie Matilda Rogers (1900-1995), John Fields Rogers (1902-1986), George Merritt Rogers (1905-1972), James “Lawton” Rogers (1908-1973), and Thomas “Hayden” Rogers (1910-1974). All of the Rogers children grew up in the home and became very active contributors to the community, state and nation in significant ways such as education, law, mining, news reporting and publishing, chemistry, farming, scientific discovery and invention, medicine, government, agronomy, agriculture, and horticulture. Today, many descendants of the Rogers Family can still be found continuing the family legacy as major contributors to their communities according to their own personal education, skill and experience. On March 29, 2012, the Alabama Historical Commission placed Snow Rogers House on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage. |
