In 1906, local architect Charles H. Page designed this house for Judge James Wooten McClendon and his wife, Annie (Watt), whose father donated the site as their wedding gift. McClendon was an attorney and judge, serving as Chief Justice of the Court of Civil Appeals for 26 years. Judges Thomas B. Greenwood and Charles G. Krueger were tenants here before the McClendons sold the home in 1944. University of Texas head football coach and administrator Ed Price, his wife, Betty (Rugeley) and their family acquired the property in 1960. The 2 ½-story American Foursquare house with buff brick exterior incorporates elements of Prairie, Craftsman and Eclectic architectural styles. |
