Anecdotal Information
Interview with Thomas Rogers on June 7, 2011:
Thomas Rogers moved into his home in 2002. When he bought the property the view of the house was blocked by hedges that he has since had cut back. The house was built in 1929 by Barker Jennings and features a concrete foundation. The house has been updated and now features air conditioning. He and his wife have also built an addition.
