Architect H. Rus Warne designed this house at 8 Grosscup Road in 1910 for himself and his family by expanding on the original frame house on the site. That earlier house was built between 1875 and 1883 by James Ferguson (1817-1898), a lawyer and member of the state legislature. Warne named his newly rebuilt home "Bon Aire," but it became known locally as "The Sugar Bowl" due to the porticos on the east and west ends. Warne designed 10 houses in the South Hills neighborhood, which is now part of the Grosscup Road Historic District (added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984).
