Paul P. Van _Ri~erI
This is to request authorization of a Texas historical marker
to commemorate the faculty and staff houses once on the Texas
University campus, which, sold and sod, mainly in the 1940s,
now comprise the principal historic residences in the city of Colleg~
Station, Texas.
5~nis application was initially proposed by the Brison Park Com-
mmu_~ty AsSOciation of College Station as its sesquicentennial project,2
~nd has been endorsed by +~he for Historical Preservation cf
Brazos County,5 The immediate sponsor of the marker application is
the city government of College Station, supported by Texas AZ~ Univer-
sity.4 It is expected that any ~oproved marker would be placed on the
Texas A&2M U.n/ver~ty campus, 5
The ~apporting data to follow are divided into three sections:
l) the development of faculty e~ud staff housing at TAMU, 2) the remo,ral
of this housing, and 3) its present location, ownership, etc.
",-,..~ile there was housing erected on many segments of the Texas
University property, both in College Station and elsewhere, this
pose! &nd documentation apply only %o the housing once in the section
long recogr, ized as comprising the central TA~ campus. 5"his area is
bounded by University Aveeno (formerly Sulph~mr Springs Road) on the
:~orth, ?e:ca-~ Avenue on ~ne East, Jer.s.=.l~ S~.reet on ~k~ Sou~h,

Folunded in 1876, the early Teas A~M University encompassed
close to 2,500 acres of open count~ land more than fo~ miles from
the small town of B~--ys.u, Texas. Of necessi~, the ~versity, then
a small college (the ~icultur~ and Mechs_uical College cf Texas),
had to function much as a milita~ post, ~th housing furnished and
officially allocated to many facul~ and staff. That, as a land
grant institution, the college's curric~um included co~sory
milit~ tra~ing o~y underscored the analogy.
i~0st of the school's old bull records were destroyed when
the principal ~inistrative building, Old :~in, burned to the gr_ound
in Nay of 1912. ~evertheless, th~ gro~h of campus housing can be
outlined~ in a general wa~r.
The first houses were five brick facul~ homes erected in
1876 on the East side rmed the
nucleus of what became known for m~ny yea~s thereafter as Quality
Row along both sides of t~his street. However, the last of the brick
houses was demolished in 1949.
Additional housing was rapidlY const~cted from the 1890s on.
By 1914 there were nearly 50 houses on the central campus.8 Con-
sti~ction of additional homes continued apace until the middle
l~20s. By then ~itable housing for £~cul~y ~nd staff w~s rapidly

~r~over, it was becoming e.~ident that it would be necessa~y to uee

student body, Which nearly doubled between 1917 and 1~5°~ and then
doubled again between 1925 and 1935.9
In early 1913 the boar~ of directors ordered the numbering of the
fa~lt~ and st~f homes.
effective May 1 l0
, !919, and all references to house r~mbers in this
proposal use the 1919 numbering s~ystem,- which is also the system used
in the property ~ecords of the T~MU Fiscal Dopant.
~y 1~58 there were mpp=oximately llO faculty and staff homes
on the main cam~, b~t onl~ two (nos. 251 and 422) h~ been erecte&
after 1~25. Only the latter (no. 422 on ~ckmorton St. ) ~emains.11
As for s~yle and construction~ there were no more brick houses
after the initial five. A~ll the rest have been frame. Sizes have
varied from largish two-storied structures to ~ cottages of
perhaps 1,200 square feet. The styles of those known to be in ex-
istence can be g~ouped into four ma~n. types, which can be design~te~
12
as follows:
l) Queen Anne, most ~th ne~l~Ssical features, constructed
between 1890 and 1910; this was t~ predominant style.
2) Cottages, smaller houses with a ~ll porch and sinple lines,
erected here and there over per?~ap~ a forty year period,
some of the earliest in a simplec~T~°~ ...... C~othic, with
the more recent very plain indeed.
5) .~erica~u Four-Square (usin~ term~.no~.o~~ ~ of the 01d House
Jo~al), relatively plain and squartsh two-~to~y st~ac-
tu_~,~ with a one sto~y front_ oorch, ~rected b
4
4) ~alows of v~i~ sizes, but most ~atlish with square
foota~es from 1,200 to 1,.600, erected between 1910 and
1925. This style comprised the second largest group.
15 It should
also be noted that there were no great ~nsions or fancy Victorian
structures among them. These, even the ,~_versity presidents' houses
(see house no. 410) were essen middle class types of housing,
o ous.
Of the known ~emaining homes, the ~s vary from 1890 for house
no. 222, now at 611 M~ntclair, College Statiom (and p 'the oldest
house in the city) to 1923 for two homes, no. 204, now at 502 Kerry,
College Station, and no. 289, at 1004 Ashburn.
Id ~the early years of the ty, housing assignments were
controlled directly by the president-and t.he board of directors.
Effective in 1913, the directors z~ the president to delegate
this task to a CoOtie on Housing consisting of the deans. This
com~ttee met seve~ times a year from 1915 until 1939, when the
board of directors decided to close out campus housing for faculty
and staff.14 This committee developed an initial set of housing
rules a~ud regulations, which were approved by the board of directors
on Auo~st 18, 19!3.15 In main outline, these ~tes g~ided housing
use policy for tD~ entire twent~y-six years of the Housing Co,tree's
exist ~=nce.
Removal o£ Houses
With the Formal incorporation of the City of College Station,
Texas, in Octo~r 1938,
of campus hous~ for facul a~i t f
rang ty saf . On Sept. 2, 1939 the ~uivsrsity's
board of directors adopted a resolutiom stating that "on or before Sep-
tember 1, 1941, all c~s re es be vacated and those that a~e
vacated prior to that time 'se not d or occupied.',16 Excluded
were residences of officers required to live on campus, such as the
president, the commandant, th
e surgeon a~ sever~ o~hers, lC was
ascertained tha~ many faculty and staff would like to buy the houses
they lived in, or perhaps others, and the first of several sales, via
bids, was authorized by the board in of 1941.

having been burned or othemu,ise d or demolished, given to
the Piremen ~s for use, moved somewhere else on th~
university's farm properties, etc~. The last sale of a main
house appears to hav~ been in 1972.17
In the early 1940s these houses were apparently a drag on the

Location 9f Old Campus Houses
For the past three years the au~thor and his associates have been
as pos-
sible.19 The. search has been se h~mpered by the fact that the
,~versity's records do not show, except in three or four cases, to
whom particular houses were sold. 20
As a result, the search has had to be th~ou~ a combination of
in ~spe~ion and interview. The results of this seal-ch ~re ~mm~rized
in the "lis~ of houses" to follow. A1 r, we have found forty-one
houses for which the evidence is ove~elm~ that they wets once on
the Texas ~M cam~so Of these, the campus location of tht~-~wo
is known with considerable to absolute ce~ainty. For nine of the
forty-one the prior campus location is uncertain to va-~'degrees.
Thirty-eight of the houses have been fo~d in College Station.
This gr~p forms by far the st segment of the ci~'s histori~
houses, for there app~rently are no Colleg~ Station nom-campus houses
which antedate the early 1920$. Of the remaining three houses, there
are ~ iz~ Bryan, Texa~ and the thl~ nearl2~ two miles north of Bryan
and out in the countr~.
In addition to the forty-one identified houses, at !east &uother
four are known to have been b'~rnt or demolished after being moved off
the campus. As approximately seventy cam~s houses were~ sold at some
ti=e or other, this leaves the whereabouts of t~enty-five or so unknown.
~evertheles~, during the last year o£ our fairly extensi-~ and careful
search---calendar 1985--we have been able to add only ~wo pr?~iou~!y
unlcnown forum, er c~.."~m~s ho,~.se~ ~o eu_~ list.

In the list to follow there is provided for each house information
relating to these topios: 1) present address, 2) present owner, 3) date
erected when known or e~lanation of probable date, 4) location on c~mpus
when known, 5) Year sold, 6) the evidence pertaining to identificatio~ of
the house as a campus house and it~ location on , 7) style together
with some comments on ~ent condition of the house, and 8) such resi-
dents of the house when on campus as have come to our attentiom.
The College Station houses ~ listed first, then those in Bryan and
vtcini~. Within each city group, the houses ame listed by' present ad-
dress according to an alphabeti~ ment of stm~e~ ~ames. An
