B. Williams & Co. Store is a historic country store located near Mathews in Mathews County, Virginia, built in 1869–1870. Constructed as a two-story frame structure, the building exemplifies Greek Revival architecture through refined Classical details, including an original cornice adorned with dentilled molding and curved brackets. Beyond its retail function, the store served dual roles as both a post office and residential space, remaining operational in this capacity until 1935, when the cessation of steamboat traffic on Mobjack Bay diminished the region's commercial vitality. The building was recognized as a Virginia Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
