The Smith-Rogers Home is a historical house that is recognized as a Texas Historical Landmark. According to the marker:

This house was built for early Amarillo settlers James Bynum and Marie Lowery Smith c. 1904, and was originally located at 1101 South Taylor Street. The home was purchased in 1945 by Jesse A. Rogers, who planned to move his car dealership to the site. Instead of razing the house, he had it moved to its present site to serve as his family’s home. At the time of its relocation, architect C.W. Brott made changes to the original design. The classical revival style house now features leaded glass windows, roof cresting and interior woodwork from the 1900s and brick veneer, balustrades and full-height columns from the 1940s.

The home that has been at its current address at 4841 SW 9th Avenue since 1945 is currently for sale.

The home is Classical Revival style, and features leaded glass windows, roof cresting, and gorgeous woodwork throughout the home from the 1900s. The front of the home has beautiful columns. When you enter the home you are welcomed with an amazing staircase that takes you up to the second floor.
