Built in 1911, the Williams House at 1225 W. 19th Avenue in Spokane’s historic Cliff/Cannon neighborhood is an excellent example of Prairie Style architecture. Inspired by the flat landscape of the Midwest, the Prairie Style is most notable for its low gabled roof, geometric appearance, and wide overhangs. The Williams House was designed by architect Albert Held for Spokane attorney James A. Williams and his wife Corinne Conant Williams, who is noted as being the first woman in Spokane to have a Washington State driver's license. The house was custom built by Corrine's father, Cyrus Augustus Conant, a Spokane general contractor who specialized in railroad bridge building.
