The Spurgeon Bell House is a designated City of Austin historic landmark located in the Aldridge Place Historic District. This 1925 Mediterranean Villa-style residence was designed by prominent Austin architect and U.T. professor, Raymond Everett, for Professor Spurgeon Bell, founder of the U.T. School of Business. The home's distinctive Mediterranean Villa design blends traditional Spanish and Italian influences, with a tile roof, round-arched windows and doorways, light-filled rooms, and integrated patios and sunrooms"”all of which remain defining features today. Another highlight is the custom iron staircase crafted by Austin's notable Weigl Ironworks. Historic zoning currently provides the property owner with a significant tax abatement opportunity each year. The traditional floor plan (2,504 SF) features a spacious formal living room with a fireplace open to the adjoining formal dining room, a separate den/TV room, and a bright kitchen and breakfast nook overlooking the backyard and pool.
