The George G. williams House faces east onto Mountain Spring Road. It is setback from the
street and marked by a gate house of identical materials and a circle driveway. Other
houses of similar age are visible from the site,

This Tudor-style
house is one of Farmington's
grandest due to its size ana application of design.
Its multi-gabled roof highlights
its bays arranged in no particular
pattern.
The main entry is recessed and is flanked by small arched windows. A venetianlike window lies directly above it.
An exterior chimney, balcony, and tripartite
window are
all visible from the east elevation.
Three large brick chimneys extend
from the middle of the roof.

ILDER
In 1907 George G. Williams purchased
the "corn lot" on Cedar Street (now Mountain Spring
Road) from the Smith family (FLR 77:144).
Little is recorded about Williams except that
he married Jeanette C. Hunt, daughter of Ebenezer K. and Mary (Crosby) Hunt.
Both
George and Jeanette died by 1944 leaving this house, probably built in the
pring of
.1908, and its land· to their two daughters:
Mary Crosby Dimmick Byers and Jeanette
Hunt Dimmick Deacon (FLR 98:37).
Since that time it has changed hands many times.

Although little is known about its first owner, the George G. Williams House is architecturally significant
due to its state of preservation
and representation
of the Tudor
style.
