The James and Clara Butler House, at 418 College St. in Blakely, Georgia, was built around 1890.

The NRHP nomination states:The house retains its original exterior character-defining features including the Folk Victorian details of the porch with its chamfered posts, scrollwork, unusual wainscoting, and balustrade; sidelights and transom; scrolled bargeboard in the gable ends; and gable things [sic].

As defined in Georgia's Living Places: Historic Houses in Their Landscaped Settings, the house retains its Georgian cottage plan with two rooms flanking a center hall with interior chimneys between each pair of rooms.

The Georgian cottage was the most popular and long-lived house type in Georgia, with the greatest concentration built between 1850 and 1890.
