Summary

Significance: The Norwood-Williams House is a good rural example of a shotgun house, a southern urban and rural dwelling type. A three-room house with a later one-room side addition, the dwelling was built in the 1930s by a local carpenter for two black women, Priscilla Norwood and Louella Norwood Williams, who owned and farmed the property on which it is situated.
