History

Henry Sandenburgh was born in Prussia in 1853. He emigrated to the United States, married, and arrived in Williamsport in 1878 as a fisherman. Sandenburgh and his wife Mary purchased the lot this resort is on in 1880, and built a house which is no longer extant. They took in a boarder. In 1882, the couple constructed the main house of this complex, which allowed them to house four boarders. The Sandenburghs also lived in the house, along with their children. In 1908, Mary Sandenburgh purchased the Hotel Onekama in Onekama, Michigan and the family moved there. The Williamsport house was rented for the summer of 1908, and sold to William P. and Belle C. Rogers in 1909. Henry Sandenburgh died in 1913, and his wife Mary continued to operate the hotel until her death in 1928. [2]

William P. Rogers was born in Bloomington, Indiana in 1857. He attended Indiana State University at Terre Haute, Columbia Law School, and practiced law and joined the Law Department at Indiana University. He soon became dean of the department, and in 1902 became dean of the Cincinnati Law School. He became involved in a number of community and business interests in Cincinnati, and eventually resigned his law school position to focus more on business. Rogers and his wife were one of the first resorters to discover the Onekama area. William Rogers died in 1921, leaving his wife Belle and daughters Kathryn and Norine as the principal family members in the Williamsport house. They developed the outbuildings and grounds of the complex, remodeling the house and adding a studio designed by the prefabricated building makers E. F. Hodgson Company. [2]

Description

The Sandenburgh-Rogers Summer Resort Complex consists of six structures: the summer residence, guest house, garage, studio, stables, and a maintenance building containing an apartment. The buildings are situated in two acres of landscaped grounds. [2]

Siding exterior cladding material applied to the walls of a building

Siding or wall cladding is the protective material attached to the exterior side of a wall of a house or other building. Along with the roof, it forms the first line of defense against the elements, most importantly sun, rain/snow, heat and cold, thus creating a stable, more comfortable environment on the interior side. The siding material and style also can enhance or detract from the building's beauty. There is a wide and expanding variety of materials to side with, both natural and artificial, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Masonry walls as such do not require siding, but any wall can be sided. Walls that are internally framed, whether with wood, or steel I-beams, however, must always be sided.
