Williams-Butler Mansion, Georgian Revival mansion in Buffalo, United States
The Williams-Butler Mansion is a Georgian Revival mansion located on Delaware Avenue featuring classical English architectural elements across three stories with forty rooms. The structure spans approximately 28,500 square feet of living space.
The mansion was built between 1896 and 1899 by renowned architect Stanford White for George L. Williams, an executive of the Erie County Savings Bank. Its completion marked one of White's final known architectural projects before his death in 1906.
The mansion served as home to the Butler family, whose members were involved in publishing The Buffalo Evening News. Their presence shaped the house as a place of economic and social influence within the city.
The mansion is currently available for lease and potential conversion into office spaces or hospitality facilities. Interested visitors should reach out in advance, as access and usage depend on the current status of the property.
The mansion represents one of the final architectural works by the celebrated architect Stanford White, making it a special piece of his artistic legacy. Originally sited to overlook Lake Erie, those views have since disappeared with the city's changing landscape.
