Brooksville WILLIAM SHERMAN JENNINGS HOUSE 48 Olive Street. 1886. Queen Anne/Colonial Revival. Two and one-half stories. The Queen Anne structure was remodeled on the exterior in the early 1930s to reflect the Colonial Revival style. The structure served as the home of Governor William Sherman Jennings and his wife May Mann Jennings. The Jennings sold the home to the Rogers family in the 1910s, and eventually the home became part of the Rogers Christmas House Village. It was J. M. Rogers who changed the residence from predominantly Queen Anne to Colonial Revival with the replacement of the porch with a smaller Colonial Revival portico and the addition of a fanlight over the front entrance. Private. NR 1998."
