O'Neil Ford (December 3, 1905 – July 20, 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.[1] 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.[2]
