George H. Williams Townhouses

George H. Williams Townhouses is a three-unit residential building in Northwest Portland that displays late Victorian design with ornate details across its symmetrical facades and multiple stories. The structure maintains the original layout and architectural elements typical of urban housing from that era.

The building was constructed in 1883 as an investment property for George Henry Williams, a former U.S. Attorney General and Oregon Supreme Court justice. In 1922, the entire structure was moved one block east, where it remains today.

The townhouses represent the evolution of urban residential architecture in Portland during the late 19th century, when multi-unit housing gained prominence.

The property sits at the intersection of NW 18th and Davis Street in a walkable neighborhood setting. You can reach it easily on foot and find local services and shops within the surrounding area.

In 1922, the entire structure was physically relocated one block east within the same area, from NW 19th to NW 18th Avenue.
