The Architect | The source of his genius was resolute self-regard. This monograph showcases the technical mastery, buttressed by a transcendent grace and sophistication, of Paul Revere Williams (American, 1894-1980). The anecdotes shared by his granddaughter, Karen E. Hudson, underscore that, in the face of moral and legalized bigotry, his talent was fortified by the courage of his convictions.

Signature | The Beverly Hills Hotel signage; a master of many styles, the intimate grandeur of a Williams residence speaks through high ceilings, simple, yet imposingly elegant moldings, wide and winding staircases, arched windows and foyers.

Oeuvre | Known as Hollywood’s Architect, for over 6 decades and through over 3000 residential and commercial projects, he left an indelible mark on the Los Angeles cityscape, across the United States and internationally.

Posthumous Honors & Legacy | 2017 American Institute of Architects (AIA) Gold Medal; In 2020, The Paul R. Williams archive was jointly acquired by the University of Southern California School of Architecture and the Getty Research Institute.
