John Butler House

This property was acquired by John Butler in 1839 with the house first appearing on tax roles in 1847. The house sat on 3.25 acres of land with several outbuildings across the street from the canal. Captain Butler owned two freighters the “Hope” and the “Miami Valley” and with the decommission of the canal, the doors of the freighters were used for the front and rear entries to this five-bay Greek Revival. There have been several additions to the house over the centuries and are being enjoyed today.
