O’Neil Ford
O’Neil Ford in Dallas, Texas, 1905-1982
An influential architect from Denton, Ford’s mid-20th-century designs merged European modernism with early Texas architecture. His Little Chapel in the Woods (1939) on Denton’s TWU campus is a beloved architectural achievement. In 1974, he was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Council on the Arts — the only individual ever to be given that title.
