‎O'NEIL FORD ARCHITECT.‎

‎College Station: A&M 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. FINE /O'Neil Ford Texan 1905 � 1982 was an American architect of the mid-20th century in Texas and a leading architect of the American Southwest. He is considered one of the nation's best unknown architects and his designs merged the modernism of Europe with the indigenous qualities of early Texas architecture. In 1974 he was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Council on the Arts the only individual to ever be given that title. O'Neil Ford was born in Pink Hill Texas in 1905. He moved to Denton Texas in 1917 after the death of his father. He enrolled in North Texas State Teachers College University of North Texas for two years but financial burdens forced him to abandon his efforts of a formal education. Instead he earned an architectural certificate by mail from the International Correspondence Schools of Scranton Pennsylvania. In 1926 he began a long partnership with regional architects and was first mentored by architect David R. Williams. Together they produced a number of fine regional houses of native brick wood and stone in north central Texas. He entered into private practice in 1934 and worked with a series of partners within the state of Texas beginning in 1936. His first residence designed in the modern style was at Turtle Creek Park in that year. Ford was influenced by the tradition of the English Arts and Crafts Movement and its attempt to combine architecture and visual arts. A strong preservationist he helped launch Texas architecture on a new path by showing that its roots were deep and often beautiful. His well-crafted structures were composed of brick glass and wood and were intimately tied to their settings. He enlisted his brother Lynn a master carver and sculptor to create custom doors screens and louvered grates. Ford was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1960. He was appointed to the National Council on the Arts by President Lyndon B. Johnson and in 1974 Ford himself was designated a National Historic Landmark by the Council the only individual to ever be given that title. In 1967 he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate Academician. O'Neil Ford resided in San Antonio until his death in 1982 at age 76. His funeral was held on the campus of Trinity University in Margarite B. Parker Chapel which he designed. In 2001 his drawings were donated by his widow Wanda Graham Ford to the Alexander Architectural Archive at the University of Texas at Austin. The gift included 5540 original architectural drawings 5484 prints 40 presentation drawings 39 presentation sketches and 63 sheets of photographic materials. Ford designed several buildings in Denton Texas among them the Little Chapel in the Woods renovations at the Emily Fowler Public Library the Denton Civic Center Denton's City Hall and several buildings at The Selwyn School. Because his designs form much of Denton's identity a Texas historical marker honoring Ford was dedicated at the Emily Fowler Library in 2009. Many of Ford's works are in San Antonio where he lived for much of his life. They include the renovation of La Villita the campus of Saint Mary's Hall the University of Texas at San Antonio Main Campus and the Tower of the Americas. On the campus of Trinity University also located in San Antonio are 26 O'Neil Ford-designed buildings whose distinctive "Bridgeport pink" bricks and innovative lift slab building process are representative of his iconic architectural style.11 In June 2018 the campus of Trinity University was added to the National Register of Historic Places to highlight the architectural legacy of O'Neil Ford. Other significant works include buildings at Skidmore College and several facilities around the world designed for Texas Instruments. Shortly before his death he completed the design of the building of the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville in the Texas Hill Country. The San Antonio architectural firm of Ford Powell & Carson carries on his name. . SIGNED 273pp. illus. color photos biblio notes folio dj. Author signed on half title page with inscription to Davida the daughter of David Reichard Williams Texas architect and founder of the modernist movement in Texas architecture about whom George says "O'Neil Ford owed much to his mentor Dave Williams and I hope that is made clear in this Book."
