The original section of the house is in brick, whereas the addition, designed by noted Morgantown architect Elmer F. Jacobs and built in 1905-1906 is wood frame.

It was the home of the Rogers family, pioneer settlers of Morgantown. It has been the home of West Virginia University's Campus Ministry Center since 1984. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is located in the Downtown Morgantown Historic District, listed in 1996. The property on which the Rogers House is located passed through multiple owners before the building was constructed. The house was built sometime between 1855, when Alpheus Wells purchased the property from William E. Staggers, and 1868, when Alpheus sold the property to Thomas Rogers. The National Register nomination form dates the building to circa 1857. In the 1850s, the area around the property was undeveloped. The Rogers House was one of the first large residences built at the outer edge of Morgantown's contemporary city limits. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, Morgantown witnessed an intense period of industrialization and demographic growth that engulfed the Rogers House. It currently sits between downtown Morgantown and West Virginia University's downtown campus. The Rogers family were pioneer settlers of Morgantown. John Rogers was a prominent local businessman who owned a large amount of property as well as saw, grist, and paper mills. John Rogers’ son, Thomas Rogers, inherited his property. Thomas Rogers was active in the local Escopalian. According to Earl Core's The Monongalia Story, the Trinity Episcopal Parish was organized at Thomas Roger's house in 1876. Thomas Rogers’ son, George Rogers, inherited the property when Thomas Rogers died in 1894. George Rogers was also active in the Episcopal Church and a businessman. He is known for developing the Woodburn and East Morgantown neighborhoods. George Rogers, his wife Louise Clemson Brown, and their daughters, Mary Washington and Louise Clemson, moved into the Rogers House in the late 1890s. The Rogers family rented rooms to students, which was a common practice at the time because there were no university dormitories. When George Rogers died in 1920, the Rogers House was conveyed to his wife who was living at the house with her daughter and son-in-law, Louise and Harlan Selby. Her other daughter and son-in-law, Mary and Bradford Laidley, moved back into the Rogers House after George Rogers’ death. Bradford Laidley and Harlan Selby opened an office supply business called Laidley and Selby Office Equipment. The business, which was located at 417 High Street, was in operation from 1923 to 1974. Louise Rogers, George Roger's widow, conveyed the Rogers House to Laidley and Selby in the 1930s. The Rogers House was a private residence until Bradford Laidley and Hale J. Poston, who had acquired Selby's half-interest in the house, donated the property to the Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund of the Alumni Association of West Virginia University. Despite the donors’ intentions, the Loyalty Permanent Endowment Fund did not relocate to the Rogers House. Instead, the Fund leased the Rogers House to the University Christian Council (UCC), an ecumenical campus ministry organization, in 1983. Known as the Campus Ministry Center, the ecumenical campus ministry has occupied the Rogers House since 1984. West Virginia University's ecumenical campus ministry was previously housed in a building on the Evansdale campus, an office building on High Street, the Walters Residence which is a few houses down the street, and in a building of the old downtown hospital which no longer exists.The University Christian Council emerged from the ecumenical movement within the field of campus ministry, which was active at West Virginia University in the late 1960s. In 1969, the ecumenical campus ministry center was named the Bennett House in honor of Thomas Bennett. Thomas Bennett was a conscientious objector who was killed in Vietnam while serving in the Army Medical Corps. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. When he was a student at West Virginia University, Thomas Bennett served as the president of the Campus Ecumenical Council and was very involved in the campus ecumenical movement and social causes. At the peak of the campus ecumenical movement, West Virginia University's campus ministry center included United Methodists, Roman Catholics, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and Disciples of Christ ministers.In late twentieth-century Morgantown, many campus ministers, particularly those of liberal Protestant denominations, worked closely with student activists and were involved in social activism. In the 1970s, campus ministers in the Bennett House were involved in a number of student and community projects, including draft, drug, and abortion counseling. When the campus ministry moved to the Rogers House in the 1980s, traces of this activism remained. The Women's Information Center, which was founded in 1971, operated within the campus ministry until the early 1990s. The Center offered pregnancy testing and pro-choice counseling as well as programs on women's issues.In 1991, the Westminster Foundation of West Virginia, a Presbyterian U.S.A. non-profit entity, purchased the property for campus ministry to West Virginia University and as a main office for the organization. The Campus Ministry Center at the Rogers House has been home to the Wesley Foundation (campus ministry for the United Methodist Church), Mountaineer Campus Ministry (campus ministry for the Southern Baptist Convention), the Court-appointed Special Advocates for Kids of Monongalia and Preston Counties (CASA)and Mon County Habitat for Humanity. The Campus Ministry Center is currently home to the Presbyterian Student Fellowship, the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and International Student Ministry, and the West Virginia Land Trust.

Boreman Hall is a residence hall on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. Originally called Men's Hall when it was constructed in 1935, the hall is named after Arthur I. Boreman, the first governor of the state of West Virginia. With the addition of a new annex building in 1963, Boreman Hall is now actually two separate buildings. Boreman Hall North, the newer of the two, is currently an all female dorm, the only single sex residence hall on the campus. Boreman Hall South, the older E-shaped building, is coed and includes 10 entrances. These entrances are connected to the others by way of bathrooms and ground floor lounges. Construction on the original building started in 1934 and opened in time for the 1935 school year. With its opening, the university finally had a place for its men to live on campus. Before the hall was completed, men had to either live in fraternity houses, boarding houses, or with a local Morgantown family. Funding for the building came in part from the federal Public Works Administration which was a New Deal agency set up during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The PWA supplied a loan of $446,080 and a grant of $179,876 for the project, whose total cost was $632,996. The building cost $625,000 at the time which is roughly equal to about $8.5 million in 2003 US Dollars. During World War II, the hall was used as an Army Air Force barracks. Prominent dents in the doors of Boreman hall could still be seen as recently as 2017, remnants of Drill Instructors striking to doors sharply with rifle butts in order to awaken soldiers/airmen at early hours, especially new recruits. Directly across from the hall, where the current Student Union stands, there was a parade field and an armory that were used as training grounds. Residents of the hall were transported to the Morgantown airport, where they were trained by the US Air Force. Since the end of the war, the hall has been used strictly as a residence hall and continues to be used as such today. It has been renovated and remodeled over the years, but it has remained one of the main cornerstones of the West Virginia University community and has often been the building where new programs that have moved campus-wide have been instituted. The hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
