The Williams House, also known as the Clinch Valley Coal and Iron Company Office, is a historic home and office located at Richlands, Tazewell County, Virginia. It was built in 1890, and is a 2 1/2-story, frame Georgian Revival style dwelling. It has a hipped roof with pedimented dormers and features a one-story, hip-roofed front porch supported by six slender Tuscan order columns. It originally served as the office for the Clinch Valley Coal and Iron Company, developer of Richlands. The building was sold in 1901 to Dr. William R. Williams, who used it as a residence.[3] In 1984, it became the location of the town's branch of the Tazewell County Public Library.[4]
