At approximately 7:40 a.m. the morning of Aug. 11, 2025, a fire was reported in the historic Vogelsang Building, located in the 1900 block of Avenue G in Historic Downtown Rosenberg.
The structure, built in 1910 by Jacob Gray, sustained significant damage. Initial damage reports are upwards of $750,000. The fire is believed to have originated in the roof/attic area and may be related to a mechanical failure. The Rosenberg Fire Marshal’s Office is actively investigating.

Thankfully, no injuries were reported.
Merchants inside the building are temporarily closed, including:
- Ol’ Railroad Café
- Ol’ General Store
- BR Vino
- CAST Theatrical Company
- Flowers by Tiffany
