Charles Berkeley Normann
(1903-1985) was the first director of the Texas School of Fine Arts. A renowned artist, Dr. Normann painted many portraits, and landscapes. The bathroom doors (shown below) at Scholz Garten are an example. This men's room door is a self portrait of Dr. Normann in a German holiday costume. The Girl on the door of the "Damen" or women's restroom is Barbara Cargill. We are asked everyday which door leads to which bathroom. Dr. Normann and Jesse Kinser (a manager of Scholz's...for over 30 years and still is) painted murals of several German country scenes on the walls of the front room of Scholz Garten. Sadly, most of the mural is gone except for a corner of the room next to the bar. An old beer cooler was in the corner at that time. A previous owner painted over it because he obviously had little appreciation or understanding of art and obviously the business.
