sheet 1 NTH.447 ___ Recommended for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. If checked, you must attach a completed National Register Criteria Statement form. Use as much
space as necessary to complete the following entries, allowing text to flow onto additional continuation sheets. ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION: Describe architectural features. Evaluate
the characteristics of this building in terms of other buildings within the community. The Butler House is a two-and-a-half story brick house in the Colonial Revival style that was current
during the 1920s. It is five bays wide and two bays deep and -more like southern Colonial than New England Colonial houses -it has two end wall chimneys. It has a two-and-a-half story
ell on the south, and a two-and-a-half story wing on the west, together with a one-story, screened porch on the east elevation of the south ell for a complex plan. The north façade of
the house has a center entrance with a semi-circular portico that is supported on Doric columns with respondent pilasters flanking the entry. The portico is topped by a wrought iron
balustrade. The entry has ¾ length sidelights. First story windows have limestone keystone in their straight lintels and 6/6 sash. The 6/6 sash is used at the second story as well. The
south ell has a row of arched windows at the first story, which is relatively unconventional for this very traditional house. The east porch is supported on Doric columns and has a wrought
iron balustrade on its rooftop matching that of the portico. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE Discuss the history of the building. Explain its associations with local (or state) history. Include
uses of the building, and the role(s) the owners/occupants played within the community. From the 1976 Form B, “ This brick residence was built for A. B. Butler on land at the corner
of Elm and Vernon Streets. Butler purchased the property from Elizabeth Pomeroy in 1919, at which time no structures were mentioned.” BIBLIOGRAPHY and/or REFERENCES Beers, F. W. County
