William M. Butterfield (1862-1932) was an American architect from New Hampshire.〔Shettleworth, Earle G., Jr. "Biographical Dictionary of Architects in Maine: Chesmon Butterfield, 1835-1881". ''http://www.state.me.us/mhpc/architects_bio.html''. 1995. Web.〕 Butterfield was born in Sidney, Maine in 1860. His father, Chesmon Butterfield, was a carpenter and builder. The family moved to Waterville in 1871, when young Butterfield was 11 years old. At that time, his father established himself as an architect as well as a builder. He trained with his father, and at the aged of 17 took a job with Moses C. Foster, a Waterville contractor. He moved quickly through the ranks, and by the age of 17 he was supervising the construction of major structures. In 1880 he established himself as a contractor in Concord, New Hampshire, but moved in 1881 to Manchester to open an architect's office.〔 Upon his arrival he formed a partnership with Albert E. Bodwell, who would later become Edward Dow's head designer.〔''Sullivan, Roger House NRHP Nomination''. 2004.〕 The partnership had been dissolved by September. Around 1883 he made John F. Stanton a partner, but nothing else of the partnership is known, and it appears to have dissolved soon afterward.〔"John F. Stanton". ''The Province and the States: A History of the Province of Louisiana Under France and Spain, and of the Territories and States of the United States Formed Therefrom''. Ed. Weston Arthur Goodspeed. Vol. 7. 1904.〕 Other than that, Butterfield remained in pravate practice for the duration of the 19th century. Sometime between 1905 and 1907 he took his son, Clinton C. Butterfield, and Parker K. Weston into the firm, which became the William M. Butterfield Company.〔''The Manchester Directory, 1906''. 1906.〕〔''The Manchester Directory, 1908''. 1908.〕 It remained as such until the elder Butterfield's death in 1932.〔 Butterfield was Manchester's most prominent architect from the mid 1880s until about 1910. He was highly sought after as a designer of town halls, courthouses, churches, and other public and private buildings.〔 Many of his designs have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. ==Architectural Works== * Farmington Town Hall, 356 Main St., Farmington, NH (1881) - Highly altered.〔''Carpentry and Building'' Sept. 1881: 162.〕 * Freeman Higgins House, 573 Pine St., Manchester, NH (1882)〔 * Charles Morrill House, 1799 Elm St., Manchester, NH (1882)〔 * People's M.
