The Paul R. Williams Residence was the personal home of the noted architect and Spingarn Medal winner Paul Williams. The residence is located in the Lafayette Square neighborhood of Mid-City, Los Angeles. The house has been designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument by the city of Los Angeles. This four-bedroom, 4,440-square-foot (412 m2) house was designed and built in the International style in 1952.
Though known as an "architect to the stars", working in many exclusive Los Angeles neighborhoods, the African American Williams built his own house in a neighborhood free of racial restrictions.
