Williamson Hall, a two-story brick academic building on the campus of Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, Arkansas, exemplifies Colonial Revival architecture from its construction in 1940. Built with support from the National Youth Administration, the structure is distinguished by a Greek temple pavilion on its front facade, supported by six Doric columns. Named for Marvin Williamson, the university's first Director of Bands and first student enrollee, the building has long housed classrooms and faculty offices. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992, Williamson Hall sustained significant fire damage in April 2019 but was restored through a historic preservation project, reopening to faculty and staff by December 2021 with classes resuming the following spring.
