The Rogers' daughter, Emaline, bequeathed the property to the Alvin Museum Society in 1995. The Society restored the home and named it Marguerite Rogers House Museum, in honor of Emaline's mother.

The Myrtles

After Mr. Slover died in 1923, his widow married Moses J. Bass who lived in The Cottage until 1934 when he moved to San Antonio. When Mr. Bass owned the home, he planted pink crepe myrtle trees along the property line and along what is now Dumble Street. He appropriately named his place "The Myrtles."
