Built on the site of Ford's boyhood home (now on the U.N.T. Campus), the Hersh House was designed in 1939 by Ford and Arch Swank. Labeled "Chicken Coop Gothic" by Ford, it was described by S.B. Zisman in Pencil Points magazine (April, 1940) as "The first real Texas house of the present movement." This house was demolished in 1965 to make way for expansion of U.N.T.
