The James D. and Alice Butler House, commonly known as the Butler House, is a historic home in Deerfield Beach, Florida. It is located at 380 East Hillsboro Boulevard. On July 28, 1995, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

The building is in the Mediterranean Revival style and was the home of early Deerfield Beach settlers and civic leaders, James D. and Alice Wood Butler. Alice Butler obtained the plans for the house from a popular ladies magazine, the Ladies Home Journal of September 1923. Situated on almost four city lots the home was built by Gulfstream Lumber Company of Delray at a cost of {{US$|10000|long=no}}.[3] It was built on the site of home the Butler's had purchased in 1912 for {{US$|300|long=no}}.[4] The building is constructed of hollow tile, the interior walls are plaster on lath and the roof is made from Spanish terracotta tiles.

In 1974 the home was designated a Florida Historic site.[5] In 1977 the Butler family deeded the home and grounds to the Deerfield Beach Historical Society which operates it as a historic house museum.[6]

Modern times

The Butler House has been fully restored and contains many of the original furnishings. An exception being the dining room table that had been replaced after the original was used to protect the west dining room window during the San Felipe Segundo hurricane in 1928. The wicker furniture purchased by the Butlers in 1923 for {{US$|500|long=no}} is featured, as are hats from the flapper era and the lion's paw bathtub.[5] {{As of |2018}} the house is open to the public monthly. The property features a one–hundred year old Banyan tree where the Deerfield Beach Historical Society holds events.[8][9] The society operates the property as an event venue and maintains its headquarters there in addition to the function of the home as a museum.[8]

James D. and Alice Butler

Married in 1906 in Texas the Butlers came to Deerfield Beach in 1910 to visit James Butler's sister and remained. They became popular and public-spirited citizens of Deerfield Beach. James Butler was a member of Broward County's first school board when the county was formed in 1915. He served on the Broward County Board of County Commissioners for eight years and the Deerfield Beach City Commission for four. Alice Butler helped found the Deerfield Beach Woman's Club and they both participated in establishing the First Baptist Church of Deerfield. James Butler died in 1965 and Alice Butler in 1976. They are both buried in the Deerfield Beach Memorial Cemetery.[11]
