Editorial Note: It is difficult to tell what is going on behind those closed doors back in the mid 1960s. Inside the open door on the far left door there is a car. I'm not an expert on Classic Fords, but I do know that's the front end of a Mustang on the street. (Bottom left)

Contributing building
Victorian
The two-story, brick Rogers Building is located on two lots in the middle of the 2000 block of the Strand. The stuccoed 12-bay north façade has a ground-story, semicircular, arcade shaded by a canopy with a railed balcony. The second story has segmentally arched windows. The flat roof has a skylight. J.D. Rogers constructed the Victorian building in 1894, and his initials and the year of construction are rendered in stucco in two triangular parapets. Austin architects Sinclair Black and Simon Atkinson purchased and rehabilitated the building in 1982.
