The Abner Williams Log House is a historic log cabin in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Located northeast of Lashley in Noble County,[1] it was the home of one of the leading citizens of early Noble County.[2]

Born in 1798, Abner Williams was the grandson of early Guernsey County settler Joseph Williams. In 1827, at the age of 29, Abner purchased land in a valley near the present-day Quaker City; here he settled and built his log house,[2] which was completed by the end of the year.[1] Williams was a successful farmer; his original property was Шаблон:Convert, but by the end of his life, he had added another Шаблон:Convert to it.[2] Noble County was formed in 1851, being the last of Ohio's counties to be created.[3] County voters chose two justices of the peace in that year, and Abner Williams was one of the men elected.[2]

Built of logs on a stone foundation, the Williams House is covered with a metal roof and some elements of weatherboarding.[4] It has been recognized as a typical example of log house construction styles common in eastern Ohio during the second quarter of the nineteenth century.[2] In 1979, the Abner Williams Log House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places,[1] qualifying both because of its historically significant architecture and because of place as the home of a leading local citizen.[4] Expanding its importance is the state of the surrounding countryside: surface mining for coal has unintentionally damaged much of the historic nature of the rural region, increasing the historic importance of surviving properties such as the Williams House.[2]
