context_page_description: The Williams Historic Business District is significant for its long time close association with the American development of tourism, which in
  turn became a principal local industry. The reasons for this were that the District straddled the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and U.S. Highway 66, two significant national transportation arteries, as well as being at the southern terminus of both rail and highway links to the
  Grand Canyon. The District is also historically significant because of the role it played in the cycles of opening of the frontier west, from ranching to railroading and lumbering.
  The Urban Route 66, Williams was listed on the National Register of Historic places May 19, 1989.
  The Williams Historic Business District is architecturally significant because it contains within its boundaries an important selection of late 19th and early 20th Century vernacular architecture.
  All of the buildings are two-story or less; most are single-story. Several of the buildings constitute examples of a particular architectural style: the Fray Marcos Hotel
