About Sam and Ruth VanSickle Ford House

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

The Sam and Ruth VanSickle Ford House is a historic house located at 404 S. Edgelawn Drive in Aurora, Illinois. The house was built in 1949-50 for painter and art teacher Ruth VanSickle Ford and her husband, civil engineer Sam Ford. Architect Bruce Goff, an influential figure in the organic movement, designed the house. The house is dome-shaped, with Quonset hut ribs forming the frame of the dome. Most of the dome is covered in shingles; however, the southeast side of the dome was left open to give the house outdoor rooms. Two smaller domes containing the home's bedrooms abut the south and northeast sides of the main dome.
