William F. Butler House

The William F. Butler House is a historic house in St. George, Utah. It was built as an adobe house in 1865 by William Franklin Butler, an early convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[2] Butler first settled Palmyra, Utah with other Mormon converts in 1852 before moving to Spanish Fork, Utah, where he became a council member.[2] In 1861, after President Brigham Young had asked them to, Butler moved to Southern Utah with more than 300 Mormon families and he became one of the first settlers of St. George.[2] This house was built shortly after, and Franklin lived here with his two wives and many children.[2] It was acquired and expanded by Henry G. Bryner, an immigrant from Switzerland and a Mormon convert, in 1886.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 13, 1984.[1]
