The original Schuhmacher Hall, also known as Dorm 7, was located on the Corps of Cadets quadrangle on the south side of campus from 1939 until 1969, when it was renamed Leonard Hall in honor of Congressional Medal of Honor winner Turney W. Leonard.  In 1964, the current Schuhmacher Hall was built on the north side of campus.  In 1973, Schuhmacher Hall became the first civilian residence hall in the history of A&M to top the 3.0 GPR mark. Schuhmacher Hall is named for Henry C. Schuhmacher of Houston, head of a wholesale grocery business bearing his name.  

 

The residents of Schuhmacher Hall, known as the Seamen, have been building Fightin’ Texas Aggie Bonfire for over thirty years.  There are four lines of Bonfire pots, all traditionally held by Pissheads.  The Yellow Pot (established in 1982) leads Bonfire activities for the dorm, assisted by the Puke Pot, the Drunk Pot and the Clueless Pot (also known as “Hoss Line”).  During the ’90s the Seamen went to cut with the Hobby Heartthrobs and the Legett Longnecks.  Other dorm activities included Replant, Big Event and attending traditional Aggie events such as Muster and Silver Taps.  Schuhmacher also held a baseball throw in front of Sbisa each year and adopted two miles of U.S. Highway 21 between Bryan and Caldwell.  The famous HHH symbol derives from the fact that, although often misspelled, Schuhmacher properly contains three Hs.

 

In 2005, for the first time since Bonfire fell in 1999, Schuhmacher had new Crew Chiefs.  The Clueless, Drunk and Puke Pot lines have been renewed and continue to exist, leading Schuhmacher’s work on Student Bonfire.  Then, in 2010, Schuhmacher earned its own Yellow Pot, reestablishing the four separate traditional lines. These days, Aggies can find HHH hanging out outside of the dorm at their tables, attending staple events such as Midnight Yell, any home football game, Silver Taps, Muster and Bonfire memorial as a crew, or representing their hall with high log counts and tons of active “olds” at cut.

"Schuhmacher Hall, closest to the Chicken, never took a licken', best dang dorm on campus!"

We're big where it counts (in the heart of course), and every tree's worst nightmare!​"
