Hollywood’s biggest stars lived in houses he designed...Yet he himself could not live anywhere near them. Paul Revere Williams was the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), and despite the adversity he faced in his professional life, he left a remarkable legacy of beautiful buildings across Los Angeles. We were honored to meet his relatives and tour homes he designed, which universally inspire awe. Paul Revere Williams serves as an inspiration to all who are told “no”, but dream big despite the odds.
