The Dr. Robert George Williams House is a historic house at the junction of Arkansas Highway 8 and Arkansas Highway 209 in Parkdale, Arkansas. It was built in 1903 for Dr. Robert George Williams, a prominent medical doctor and businessman in Ashley County, and is one of the most elaborately decorated houses in Parkdale.[2] The house when built was a simple wood frame gable end house with a porch across the front. It was extensively altered in 1917, giving it the Colonial Revival flair it has today, adding gabled dormers on three sides and a two-story portico supported by fluted columns to the front facade.[3]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
