Naples, Florida 341.12 — 5746
Through: Ron D. Jamro, Director
Collier County'Museums
From: Edward C. Smith, Agent for the Rogers family
Subject:_ A donation to Collier County of a revenue -producing and historic cottage to
the Collier County Museum to be moved to the Museum and renovated at no public cost
and a new privately funded scholarship to be awarded by the County.
Summary
the Acceptance is requested by the County of a donated cottage which had served as an art
studio and contents including original art works, artifacts,and geological specimens to be
moved to the County Museum as a periiianeiit asset - there to be renovated, equipped, and
made available for public use at no cost to the t::'ounty. In addition, donations and new
revenue will hand a new scholarship award and:further support the Museum.
Details
The art studio of E. George Rogers, community activist from 1952 and avid artist,
remains intact but the property has been sold and some disposition must be made of the
building,and contents which includes original art works, Caloosa Indian artifacts, and
geological specimens.. Alternatively this historic cottage will be demolished and the
contents will remain in private hands. Here, in this small art studio, is preserved the spirit
of the tiny Naples of the postwar 1950's where residents knew each other as friends and
from which friendships came the Naples Art Association, the Naples Historical Society,
the Collier County Mental Health Association, and the First National Bank. G orWge
Rogers also served on the School Board including three years as Chairman .
A proposal is presented on behalf of the new owner, Kristen Williams-Haseotes to
donate the building, with contents donated by the Rogers tamily, to the Collier County
Museum. The costs to relocate,restore,and renovate the building will be paid by private
donation. An annual scholarship, to be awarded by the County Commission, will be
funded from donations and a new revenue stream from the sale of limited edition prints
and g.iclees of the original art works on display in the Museum and in the renovated art
studio. 1.
Mrs. 1-laseotes has developed a team of design professionals to assist her in the Naples
construction projects in which she has been, and is, personally involved and has
designated a project manager to represent her throughout the lift;of this special project.
She is recognized and honored for design excellence in owner-developed high-end
residential projects. After a two year renovation,her Port Royal home was selected to be
the finale of the 2014 Naples Garden 'four. She offers, along with her project manager
and others,to work with the Museum staff to develop and to review fair and competitive
bids for the project elements - to ensure the highest quality and best price possible.
Bringing special expertise to the project, she offers to personally - or through her
representatives - participate in the interior exhibits and displays in the renovated art
studio. Mrs. Haseotes is committed to underwriting the cost of this project, consistent
with the proposed budget, up to $110,000. Jane Rogers and. Ann Rogers Jacobson,
daughters of Anna and E. George Rogers, are also committed to support the project, as
needed, up to $ 0,000 plus the donation of original art works and artifacts of value. The

Through: Ron.D. Jamro, Director
Collier County Museum
Dear Mr. Jamro and Commissioners,
Regarding the relocation of the F. George Rogers art studio to the Collier County
Museum:
As the purchaser of the former home of Anna and George Rogers and the cottage which
served for so many years as the art studio of E. George Rogers, I am aware of the
historical significance of this small cottage and I believe it is important to preserve it as a
part of the heritage of Naples and Collier County.
The cottage represents Naples as it was evolving from a fishing village, with a nascent art
community and few civic and charitable organizations,to the cosmopolitan community
that it is today. It also.represe_nts E. George ge Rogers and his significant role in this
evolutionary process,
u 4s
Within the constraints of the proposed budget o 10,000 - 1 will financially support the
expense of relocating, renovating -and staging for public viewing-this historic small
building. Additionally, I will also financially support an art-based scholarship to be
awarded annually by the Board of County Commissioners and administered by the
Naples Art Association in consultation with Collier Schools. I have been advised that the
Rogers family(lane Rogers and Ann Rogers Jacobson) will also support the project up to
$50,000.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Jamro and Commissioners,
Regarding the relocation of the E. George Rogers art studio to the
Collier County Museum
As the daughters of Anna and E. George Rogers, we are very pleased
at the prospect of our father's art studio being relocated to the Collier
County Museum. Having come to Naples in 1952 as children we
remember when there was only sand and palmetto from our house
and the art studio on Sixth Street to the beach.
Our father's art studio was an active little building in those days and
many meetings took place there that resulted in such things as The
First National Bank, The Naples Art Association, The Historical Society
of Naples, and The Mental Health Association of Collier County. As
School Board Chairman, our father signed our high school diplomas.
Our father's paintings hang in over a thousand homes and businesses
and we are custodians of many more paintings that we would like to
make available for public viewing.
It is our great pleasure to support the relocation of the art studio to
the Collier County Museum and the establishment of The E. George
Rogers Art Appreciation Scholarship. We are extremely grateful to
Mrs. Kristen Williams Haseotes, the buyer of our property, for her
recognition of our father and her generous financial support of the art
studio's preservation and the art appreciation scholarship.

Otter Mound on Marco Island, we have Caloosa Indian artifacts, and
geological specimens of our own collection„ that we would like to offer
to the Museum.
