O’Neil Ford: Texas’ Architect: Denton roots and Denton Legacy
July 19, 2012 at 10:55 am 1 comment
O’Neil Ford was arguably the most prominent architect to have come from Texas. In his long and distinguished career, he achieved both popular and critical success, yet retained a strong life-long link to his hometown of Denton. It was Ford who designed the expansion of the library in 1969 along with several other Municipal Buildings.
Join us at 3 pm on Saturday, July 28, 2012 at the Emily Fowler Central Library, 502 Oakland as local historian, Mike Cochran, presents an intimate look at O’Neil Ford design aesthetics and his influence on Denton’s architecture.
For more information, contact Laura Douglas, Public Services Librarian, at (940) 349-8749 or at Laura.Douglas@cityofdenton.com.
