The house is located close to Butler's Barracks, a historic military complex comprised of five wooden buildings located at the edge of the Commons behind the Fort George National Historic Site of Canada. The original structure of The Butler House was built by Nat Barnum sometime around 1787-1789 as a one room cabin (which is the present living room). No streets had been laid out at this point in time, and the cabin’s front door would have been between the present living room and dining room. It is believed by the Historic Society that the original cabin was used by Col. John Butler, the leader of Butler’s Rangers, as the secret meeting place of the militia.
