The Francis D. Williams House is a historic brick house located at 3 Plain Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. It was built circa 1830 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The large 2-1/2 story, broad-gabled, central hall structure has entrances on both its Berkley and Plain Street façades. It is located near the east bank of the Taunton River at Weir Village, once a thriving seaport and industrial area. It is one of Taunton's only brick Greek Revival houses, and may have been used by the Williams family to board sailors involved in the coasting trade.[2]
