The Ruth and Sam Van Sickle Ford House Tour

Join the Women's Architectural League for an exclusive tour of one of the most significant homes in Aurora, the Ford house! Designed by architect Bruce Goff and commonly referred to as the “Round” or “Coal” house, working on the theory that the circle is “an informal, gathering-around, friendly form,” Goff designed the home with a center circle 50 feet in diameter and two circular bedroom wings. It is constructed of anthracite coal, steel, glass, cedar, and hemp and has remained relatively unchanged since its construction.
