In 1936, O'Neil Ford, an architect working in Dallas, designed his first major modern home - the international architectural link between the Texas Modern homes of his mentor David Williams and today's award-winning architects Lake/Flato and Frank Welch. You will find this home of aesthetic importance at 3514 Rock Creek on the finest lot in the Turtle Creek Park neighborhood.

The desired neighborhood of Turtle Creek Park is a prestigious and secluded neighborhood and is a favorite to all those who find it. It is framed by Rock Creek, Turtle Creek, and the Katy Trail. Prominent architects designed dignified homes in the first half of the last century that relate to the topography and scale of the hidden enclave of 34 perfectly placed refined houses.

O'Neil Ford, furthering the concept of Texas Modern architecture, created three levels of verandahs, balconies, and screened-in porches for this architecturally significant home to take advantage of the southern breezes going over Rock Creek that contribute to cooling the wooded .64 acre site. You will also enjoy the ravine and forested acreage of the 3.5 acre site along Rock Creek, behind this sought-after property.
Ford introduced his pyramidal capped newel post and thin rabbit joints to embellish the modern woodwork, doors and stairs. You can see architectural details introduced in this home that were used two years later in the Bromberg home on Wendover and in Frank Welch designed homes built 60 years later.
For the last 40 years this architecturally distinguished home has been kept in pristine condition by the most prominent engineer in Texas. Hidden, private and sublime this significant and historic home welcomes modern furniture and Texas grace - one of the true great homes. Please contact me, Douglas Newby, at 214.522.1000 if you are interested in purchasing or selling a significant home.
