Thomas F. Gilligan House
1455 Beeler St.
Built: 1925 • Landmarked: 1990

Westinghouse and General Electric cooperated to build this Spanish Mission style house as an electric show home. Bank and Chamber of Commerce president Thomas F. Gilligan had over 15,000 people visit his home for its grand opening gala. This event promoted not only modern homes complete with electrical appliances, but also Aurora as a desirable suburb. The house has served as a residence and is now a residential health care facility.
