David L. Williams (architect)
David Lochead Williams (November 2, 1866 – September 28, 1937)[1] was an architect in Portland, Oregon.[2]
His father was Warren H. Williams, a leading early architect of Portland. Born in San Francisco in 1866, David Williams moved to Portland with his parents and two siblings in either 1873[3] or 1875.[1]
David Williams "was trained by his father and, when given free reign [sic], as in the Mediterranean mansion of 1912 for lumberman Robert F. Lytle, he produced quite lavish eclectic work in the Beaux Arts tradition."[2] He began working in his father's architectural firm in 1883, upon graduating from high school, and "was engaged in this profession almost continuously"[1] until retiring in 1934 because of illness.[1]
A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[4]

- Frank C. Barnes House, 3533 N.E. Klickitat Street, Portland, Oregon; NRHP-listed[4][5]
