The Royer-Williams House is a Queen Anne-style residence built in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1887 by Henry Royer. The design exemplifies the ornamental exuberance of its era through distinctive features including hood-moldings framing the windows, a prominent square bay window on the south facade adorned with Victorian trim and brackets, and varied shingle patterns on the second-floor tower and the concave hip of the south bay window. Purchased in 1898 by T. F. A. Williams, the house became the home of his wife, sociologist Hattie Plum Williams, known for her writings on German Russians. The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.
