Simerly-Butler House
Simerly-Butler House, Historic residence in Hampton, United States.
The Simerly-Butler House stands at 206 Main Street, featuring tall windows and decorative brackets characteristic of Italianate architectural design from the 1860s.
Built in 1867 by Elijah Simerly, president of the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad, this mansion later belonged to Georgia Governor Nathaniel Edwin Harris.
The mansion represents residential architecture trends of the post-Civil War era in Tennessee, when wealthy individuals constructed substantial homes in growing railroad towns.
The property, covering less than one acre, received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1996, though it remains a private residence without public access.
Ralph U. Butler, who owned the house by 1936, operated manganese mines in Cedar Hill and Shady Valley that supplied materials for steel production during World War II.
