This is a very unusual combination of styles and one of the most interesting houses in Douglas. Mission Revival and Craftsman styles aren’t usually found in any combination, especially such a tasteful one. The home was built for J. N. (Jap) and Ruby McLean McDonald and they lived here until 1925. W. J. and Lila Hooks Williams purchased it in 1926. Two generations of the Williams family remained here for the next 69 years. It was painstakingly restored by Dr. & Mrs. David Arnett in 1996. Thanks to Jim Cottingham for the identification.

Many thanks, as well, to Tom Johnson, for sharing the vintage image of the house, soon after it was completed. Tom has shared several historic images from Coffee County over the past few years.
