f a m i l y Children with: Mathilde Dolores Denis de Lagarde Siblings: George Buttles Boal Anna Theodore Boal Montgomery David Boal Frederick Boal Children: Pierre de Lagarde Boal Theodore Davis Boal Born: 1867 June, Iowa City IA Married 1894 to Mathilde Dolores Denis de Lagarde Died: 1938 August, Boalsburg PA Image gallery (3 images) Born in Iowa where his father had moved from Boalsburg, Terry Boal was raised partly by his childless uncle Theodore Davis, after whom he was named, and his aunt Annie Buttles Davis in New York City and Newport RI. He returned to Boalsburg in 1898 and bought the family home from his father's sister, Elizabeth Boal Thompson. In 1902 he bought a house (1712 H St?) in Washington DC across from the Metropolitan Club and used Boalsburg as a summer home. He served as Secretary to Leonard Wood on a special mission to Spain. In May 1916 he organized the Boal Troop, a volunteer cavalry unit. It was accepted into the PA National Guard as the mchine gun troop for the First PA Cavalry. Theodore Davis Boal, a great-grandson of David the younger, raised and equipped at Boalsburg a mounted machine gun troop, which he led to the Mexican border in 1916, at the time of General Funston's expedition against General Francisco (Pancho) Villa. His mounting machine guns on Ford trucks was an early, perhaps the earliest motorization of machine gun equipment in the American forces. On an occasion when he crossed into Mexico, Colonel Boal obtained the field cap and epaulettes of General Villa, as well as his photograph (not by force, needless to say, as Villa was not captured by General Funston's expedition). During World War I the machine gun company served in France as a part of Pennsylvania's 28th Division. Colonel Boal, with General Muir throughout the war, was awarded the D.S.C. for valor in action. http://www.coloradohistory-oahp.org/architects/boal.htm http://www.coloradohistory-oahp.org/_vti_script/search.htm0.idq Degree in Architecture from Iowa State University in 1889.

Hwy. 133 National Register 07/19/1989, 5PT.556 REDSTONE HISTORIC DISTRICT Along Crystal River, Hawk Creek to 226 Redstone Blvd. National Register 07/19/1989, 5PT.553 The Redstone Historic District is a rare, intact Colorado example of an industrial company town, with examples of buildings ranging from worker's cottages to the large estate of the industrial magnate John Cleveland Osgood. Osgood, as head of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company from 1892 until 1903, regarded Redstone as his personal project and saw the town's development as a model and standard for the industry. The district survives as a major body of work by architect Theodore Boal. Boal adapted popular Victorian styles to a mountain setting utilizing unique combinations of wood and stone in his picturesque designs. Listed under Historic Resources of Redstone, Colorado Multiple Property Submission. CRAWFORD HILL MANSION 969 Sherman St. National Register 9/13/1990, 5DV.713 http://192.70.175.136/programareas/register/1503/cty/dv.htm Terry Boal designed the 1906 house for Crawford and Louise Hill. Mrs. Hill led Denver's socially elite "Sacred 36" and entertained many distinguished guests, among them U.S. President William Howard Taft. The extravagant 7,000 square foot, three-story house is one of the best examples of French Renaissance architecture in Denver. http://192.70.175.134/ghm/rentals%5Fghm%5F1.htm The Grant-Humphreys Mansion at 770 Pennsylvania Street in Denver is as important for its architecture as for its association with two prominent names in Colorado history, James Benton Grant and Albert E. Humphreys. By the turn of the century, when the Grants commissioned architects Theodore Davis Boal and F.I. Harnois to design their new home on "Quality Hill," Americans had begun building in the Beaux-Arts style, borrowing elements from the high architectural periods of the ancient world and Renaissance Europe. The Grants' Beaux-Arts mansion is an exuberant mixture of elements, combining a brick facade with terra cotta balustrades, projecting balconies and 20 foot columns. The 30-room mansion was completed in 1902 at a cost of $35,000.
