Rogers–Downing House
The Rogers–Downing House is a historic house in Andover, Massachusetts. It was built between 1848 and 1852 as the country house for Benjamin Rogers, a wealthy Boston businessman. After Rogers sold it in 1870, it went through a succession of owners before coming into the hands of John Downing, who established a dairy farm and orchard on the estate. Their family retained the house until 1968. The house is an unusual example of a Gothic Revival summer house. Its shape is that of an H, with two 2+1⁄2-story wings connected by a 1+1⁄2-story connecting section. The gable ends of the side wings face the street, as do two gable dormers on the cross section. These are decorated with bargeboard trim, a typical Gothic Revival detail. The house sits prominently on a rise above Highland Road.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
