The Williams-Ball-Copeland House, also known as The Villa, is a historic residence located at 544 Ball Drive in Laurens, South Carolina. Constructed between 1859 and 1861 as a winter home for Colonel John Drayton Williams, the house is a notable example of Italianate architecture. Designed by architect Dr. John Wells Simpson, who also built the Laurens County Courthouse, the two-story brick structure features a stuccoed and scored exterior. The property includes two original brick outbuildings: a summer kitchen and a combination smokehouse and food storage house.

The house is significant for its association with prominent figures in South Carolina’s history. Colonel Williams was active in state government, serving in the South Carolina House of Representatives and participating in the Southern Rights Convention of 1852. Subsequent residents included Beaufort Watts Ball, a member of the Secession Convention and signer of the Ordinance of Secession, and his children William Watts Ball and Sarah Ball Copeland, who were influential in journalism and civic affairs. William Watts Ball served as editor of The State and The News and Courier, while Sarah Ball Copeland chaired the Library Board of Trustees for 27 years.

In recognition of its architectural and historical significance, the Williams-Ball-Copeland House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 19, 1986..
