He entered Harvard University receiving his B.A. degree in 1937 followed by a Harvard School of Design Bachelors in Architectural degree in 1940 and a Masters in Architecture in 1970. In 1940, Donald became employed with Caribbean - Architecture and Engineering (Vorhees, Walker, Foley and Smith) designing Army bases in Trinidad, B.W.I. and in New York City. Donald circumvented his family deferment and medical disqualifications out of a finely developed sense of patriotism and devotion to country, to enter the war effort. He attended the U.S. Navy Midshipmen School of Notre Dame where he earned a commission and was assigned to photo intelligence and aerial reconnaissance.

He served with distinction in the Pacific Theater on two ships, USS Yorktown CV-10 and the USS Princeton CVS-23 (where he survived a devastating dive bomber attack and ship abandonment). He was very proud of his attainment of Lieutenant, USNR rank and his life threatening service to country.

In 1943, he returned to Miami with his family, immediately upon discharge from the Navy. He became employed by Robert Law Weed and Associates working out of two historic Miami buildings, Miami Daily News and the San Sebastian Building. Donald rooted himself to Miami and "the Grove" when he broke ground for what would be "his space", his Bauhaus home and office at 4130 Braganza Ave., Coconut Grove. Here he experimented with clear-story ventilation, minimal barriers between indoor and outdoor, natural indoor lighting and, natural terrain landscaping. He opened his own architectural practice in 1949 out of his residence in Coconut Grove. His notable architectural accomplishments were, the Wesley Foundation of the University of Miami, a Miami International Airport expansion design, several university dormitories, and numerous private residences.

Donald was an engaged Miami community member as a founding and life member of the Fairchild Gardens Foundation and the Miami Museum of Art and History, the Coral Reef Yacht Club and the South Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. He was a life and contributing member of many organizations, United States Naval Institute, Hasty Pudding Club and Phoenix Club of Harvard, World War II Memorial, USS Princeton and USS Yorktown Associations, Admiral Nimitz Foundation, U.S. Navy Memorial Foundation, World Wildlife Fund and, the Harvard, Princeton, Yale Club of Trinidad and Tobago.

Donald was married four times and was predeceased by his first three wives. His first wife, Anne Martin, daughter of John Lyman and Edith (Richards) Martin of Worcester, MA. They had three children, Dexter Richards Rowell, born December 31, 1939, Diane Rowell Gregory (Bruce), born January 29, 1942 and Christine Edith Rowell Hawkins (Clay), bor n November 29, 1945.
