Our History The Fields has a rich history that has been preserved for all its residents to admire. Our Clubhouse Barn covers 20,000 square feet and has a 24 ceiling. It was constructed soon after World War II by Bloomington business baron, Ralph Rogers, who owned the Rogers Building Company. On this family run farm, he raised prize cattle, paying a record setting $35,000 for the famous bull, Baca Duke XXXIII, in 1953. As one of the original residents of The Fields, his portrait (Baca Dukes, that is) has been placed in a position of honor on the entry wall. The original sloping ramp bridge was created to carry the weight of tractors and farm machinery. It has since been reinvented as an historic covered bridge of cedar, brick, local Green County stone, and a unique flooring of black slate cobblestones that continue inside into the entry. The 300 pound entry door is a massive 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall, and is made of solid native Indiana hickory.
