Bolton Hall
Bolton Hall (1912) was originally the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Building. It was designed to mirror Nagle Hall, and with Old Main (burned in 1912) formed the heart of old A&M's Academic Quadrangle. Considered "fire proof" due to its steel and reinforced concrete construction, it was officially named in 1939 in honor of President Frank C. Bolton, the "grand old man of A&M", known affectionately as "Bear Tracks" Bolton. On November 24, 1921, William A. "Doc" Tolson '23 and Harry M. Saunders '22 produced the first live play-by-play broadcast of a football game in the nation (A&M vs. Texas) from wireless station 5XB located in Bolton Hall.
