Mr. Baskin built the one-story house with 14 ft. ceilings, heart-pine floors and a steeply pitched hipped roof. The house, with 2,000 sq. ft., has seven rooms, two full bathrooms, six fireplaces, wide baseboards and ceiling cornices. A small portion of the porch has been enclosed for use as a greenhouse. The 1/2 acre property has lovely gardens and three outbuildings.

 

The E. M. Rogers House is located in downtown Adel. From Atlanta:  Take I-75 South below Tifton to Exit 39. Off the ramp, turn left toward Adel on Ga. Hwy. 37. Turn left on Hutchinson Avenue and the house is on the corner of Hutchinson and 3rd Street.

Constructed by Mr. William H. Baskin in 1907, owner and operator of a local lumber mill, this home was a copy of the house built next door in 1905 by the Juhan family. Mr. Baskin sold the Queen Anne cottage in 1913 to Mr. E. M. Rogers, who purchased it for his bride, Mellie Parrish. It remained in the Rogers family until recently.

The house is in good condition, but requires some cosmetic work, wood repair and window repair. The kitchen and bathrooms need updating.  The mechanical systems, including plumbing and electrical, need updating as well.
