Paul Revere Williams
Paul Revere Williams

Queensland Vineyard Bed & Breakfast salutes Paul Revere Williams, the architect who designed the Cord House on the White Mountain Ranch; once the Circle L, here in Fish Lake Valley.  E. L. (Errett Lobban) Cord commissioned Williams to design his Beverly Hills mansion (Cordhaven), complete with chicken coops that matched the main house, as well as the family home on the Circle L Ranch.

Williams  created homes for Hollywood royalty including Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball.  “The architect became known for houses that were comfortable yet elegant, family oriented while suitable for large-scale galas.

The Cord House at White Mountain Ranch must be a Williams creation as it so closely mirrors the attributes mentioned above.  For years we thought it was a Frank Lloyd Wright design.
