The Butterfield House is a buttercup yellow two-story, side-gable, Colonial Revival Structure. It was originally constructed circa 1877 as a two-story, four pen dot trot log structure by the McCrary Family. Between 1877 and 1925, owners included the Rheile and Andrews families. Robert M. Butterfield purchased the home in 1925 from J. Murphy Andrews. Butterfield hired Maximillian "Max" F. Mayer, well-known Little Rock architect to transform the residence from the log structure to the current Colonial Revival residence.
The house is now owned by the State and is located on
Barrett Road in west Pulaski County near Pinnacle Mountain State Park in
west
A former resident often complained that "someone" watched him from the stairway, and that there was a cold spot on the landing. Our investigation confirmed that indeed there are spirits present.
