Paul Revere Williams (February 18, 1894 – January 23, 1980) was an American architect known for his contributions to 20th-century architecture. He was the first African-American member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the first black architect to be elected to the AIA College of Fellows.
Williams was known for his ability to blend traditional and modern architectural styles, creating elegant and functional designs that were popular among celebrities and wealthy clients. Some of his most famous works include the iconic Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport, the Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Building in Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles County Courthouse.
Despite facing racism and discrimination throughout his career, Williams persevered and became one of the most successful architects of his time. He was awarded the AIA Gold Medal in 2017, posthumously honoring his significant contributions to the field of architecture. Williams' legacy continues to inspire architects and designers around the world.
