William Gardner house, Austin, exterior | Single story stone house with deteriorating shingle roof, with part of a large tree in left foreground. The tops of the window and door openings are trimmed with rows of vertical stones. The door and windows appear to be missing. House is at a distance and in a clearing but for a small tree in front. | From a series of unique photographic images, which Williams took on his travels through central Texas in the 1920s, showing examples of vernacular architecture. Williams donated the negatives to the UT's School of Architecture in 1961 and they were subsequently transferred to the Alexander Architectural Archives.
