Description
A Legacy Restored - Historically known as the “Murdoch House”, 748 S. Rosemary Drive in Bryan, Texas was designed by William Wayne “Bill” Caudill and John M Rowlett. Distinguished Texas A&M architecture professors and co-founders of Caudill Rowlett Scott (CRS), Caudill and Rowlett grew CRS to become the largest architecture, engineering, and construction corporation in the United States. The name lives on today as the CRS Center for Architectural Research, founded in 1990 at the Texas A&M University School of Architecture. Originally built for Texas A&M Professor P. G. Murdoch, this architectural landmark has been lovingly and thoughtfully renovated by Bjarne and Heather Rasmussen. The home reflects a seamless alignment of structure and soul. Bjarne Rasmussen, a Danish master carpenter, brings a tradition of precision and humility, while Heather Rasmussen, a Texas-based designer, contributes a refined fluency in both interior and exterior design. Remarkable architectural features include a 14’ cantilever roof overhang and a flying staircase constructed of large mahogany slabs suspended by steel pipes of graduated length. The Rasmussen’s work over the past 5 years has restored and improved the property allowing the legacy of 748 S Rosemary Drive live on for future generations to admire and enjoy.
