The Lewis-Williams House is a historic house located at 101 Third Street in Hudson, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]

It is a one-and-a-half-story "romantic" Gothic Revival cottage overlooking the St. Croix River. It has multiple steep gables "ornamented with finials and heavy elaborate wooden bargeboard with pendants."

It was bought by Dr. Boyd T. Williams in 1930 and used as a cancer treatment facility. Williams died in 1848; the house remains as a "historic representative of the locality's development of health services and the last surviving symbol of Dr. Boyd T. Williams' medical contributions."[2]
