Bell-Wolens House
Bell-Wolens House
603 Mills Place Drive, Corsicana, Texas 75110 • Date: c.1930.
Tyree L. Bell and his wife Alta commissioned this 2- story house about 1930. The rectangular plan, dominant hipped roof, arcaded ground floor and wrought iron balcony are suggestive of the eclectic designs of the Mediterranean style popular during this period. The large ogee arch of the primary entrance distinguishes the composition. A contemporaneous garage occupies the rear of the property. Tyree Bell served as general superintendent of the F. P. McElwrath & Company, a locally based road paving and contracting firm. Louis and Ann Wolens purchased the house in 1936. Louis Wolens served as treasurer of the family business, K. Wolens, a regionally prominent retail chain.
