LINK IN BIO! Paul R. Williams designed numerous Los Angeles landmarks, from public buildings and churches to homes for celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Williams was born in Downtown LA, studied architecture at USC, and became the first certified African American architect west of the Mississippi. Perhaps his most recognizable work is the iconic Theme Building at LAX. Williams was part of the team that designed the Googie-style landmark, which was built in 1961.

Lori’s Home Tour Edit, Ep. 3 | 1930 Paul Williams Spanish Estate I toured this stunning 1930 Spanish estate by famed architect Paul Williams, thoughtfully upgraded by @opusbuilders, while honoring and preserving much of its original character. A true Los Angeles classic, elevated with care and intention. The elements that stood out most were (1) the kitchen (and specifically the @lacornueofficial stove), (2) the tile (much original, with fill in pieces from @missiontilewestshowrooms & @zia_tile)

Nicknamed "Architect to the Stars," African-American architect Paul R. Williams had a life story that could have been dreamed up by a Hollywood screenwriter. From the early 1920s until his retirement 50 years later, Williams was one of the most successful architects in the country, but at the height of his career, he wasn't welcome in many of the restaurants and hotels he designed or the neighborhoods where he built homes—all because of his race.
