Jno. Williams, Inc.

Princeton University Tiger ved Nassau hall

Jno. Williams, Inc. var et fremtredende amerikansk støperi som var spesialister i støping av skulpturer, sentralt beliggende i New York. Det ble etablert i 1875, aksjeselskap i 1905, og oppløst i 1956.

John Williams støperiets grunnlegger var tidligere ansatt i Tiffany & Company. Støperiet drev i (og kanskje leide ut) bygninger som lå på 536, 537, 547 og 549 West 26th Street, som var tegnet av arkitekten Charles H. Caldwell. Noen av disse ble bygget i 1900, mens de andre kan dateres mellom 1912 og 1914. I 1990-årene ble en av bygningene brukt  som studio for fotografen Annie Leibovitz.

Støperiet ble ofte brukt av skulptører som Daniel Chester French, Louis Amateis, R. Tait McKenzie, George Allen Newman, Henry Augustus Lukeman, Roland Hinton Perry, J. Massey Rhind, Olin Levi Warner, Anna Hyatt Huntington, Edward Kemeys, Fredrik MacMonnies, Charles Niehaus, J. P. A. Ward, Carl Augustus Heber, Charles Keck, Andrew O ' Connor, Alexander Phimister Proctor, Anton Schaaf, Francois Tonetti, Gaetan Trentanove og Albert Weinert.

Av støperiets arkitektoniske arbeid var for det meste, bronsedører. Blant annet for Boston Public Library, Library of Congress, U.S. Capitol. En kvadriga på Minnesota State Capitol og St. Bartholomew's Church, New York. Samt Tigere ved Nassau Hall, Princeton University. Og flaggstang til Missouri State Capitol.[1]
