Historic Property Name:
Grand Canyon Drug Company

Common Property Name:
Williams Flowers

Construction Dates:
ca. 1912

Physical Description:
The Williams Flowers shop is a rectangular-plan single-story brick structure built to the property lines of its 25' width. The main facade has been covered with scored and pressed metal along the top and with batten-on-board siding on the two bays on either side of the recessed entry. The building faces north onto Bill Williams Avenue. The integrity of the building is not greatly diminished by the board and batten which is reversible.

This building is significant in that it has served the City of Williams as a commercial building since its construction ca. 1912. Its form, mass, and scale contribute to the architectural integrity of the District and any modifications to the facade are reversible.
