He was a local pioneer in the use of reinforced concrete for residences and built many homes in the Carrollton section. In addition to his professional activities, Williams was also active in musical and dramatic activities, and was an amateur photographer.

Included are views of local buildings, monuments, and cemeteries, along with images of New Orleans street scenes, people, City Park, and the riverfront.The prints were scanned as grayscale images at 400 dpi on a Hewlett Packard 4200cse scanner and saved as 2000 pixel TIFFs using Photoshop 4.0.The TIFFs are being retained as archival masters. Photoshop was also used to produce edited 600 pixel JPEGs and the 150 pixel JPEG thumbnails displayed below.
