William H. Wilson assisted Goff with the structural design of the house. Located on a small flat corner site, the house opens towards the south with extensive glass in the fa\u00e7ade. A reflecting pool separates the semi-circular drive and entryway from the public sidewalk. Inside planter beds, local stone and a large reflecting pool and fountain serve to extend the natural world into the manmade interior. A ramp over the pool leads one up to the second story where bedrooms are located, while a stone stair cuts into the earth and leads to a sunken den below. Goff incorporated local and industrial materials in the design including ashtrays and prefabricated oil drilling structural elements. In 1948, thousands of visitors waited hours in line to see the Ledbetter House as part of a charity fundraiser. LIFE magazine captured the looks of amazement and \u201cbewilderment\u201d on the faces of visitors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
