B. Historical Figures
Bo Bell, the all-American baseball player and head coach for Texas A&M University,
occupied the house after the original owner and sold it to the Birdwells in the late
40's.
Dick Birdwell, an engineer for Dow Chemical for over 25 years, has served College
Station as a city councilman for many terms. He occupied the house in the late 40's
and early 50's with his wife Joyce. Mr. Birdwell is an active member in this
community, a proud member of the class of 1953, and a generous benefactor to Texas
A&M University.
Ann Rudder was known to have played in the house as a child. She is the daughter of
former A&M President James Earl Rudder who was not only a key force in World
War II, but is a much beloved member of the Texas A&M family.

D. Tenant History
Information was taken from the current owner and may be a bit sketchy.
1. Built by a Mr. Raatz in 1936
a. Mr. Raatz owned a dry cleaning establishment around Northgate.
2. Bo Bell occupied the house in the early to mid 40's.
3. Dick & Joyce Birdwell bought the house in the late 40's and lived there until the
early 50's.
4. John Otts bought the house from the Birdwells, but was believed to have used it
as storage instead of living quarters.
5. Donita Haden made many renovations during her time in the house.
6. Hays & Robin Glover have called this house home for 22 years and made most of
the renovations that exist today.
E. Narrative History
As far as it is known, the house remained unchanged until Donita Haden made some
adjustments to its floor plan. Ms. Haden moved the kitchen from its original location
to the back part of the house where it stayed until the Glovers moved it again in their
1987 additions.
In 1987 the Glovers found themselves quickly outgrowing their space - they either
needed to move or make some additions. They chose the latter and gave the job to
Burris & Patterson Architects. They responded to the existing house well by adding
some 1200 SF to the floor plan, while not destroying the original charm of the house.
