The main house of the Butler House ranch complex is a one-story adobe residence of about 2,800 square feet (260 m2), which was built in the 1880s or before; perhaps portions of it are from the former Craig residence, built in 1864 and burned in 1879.[2]
In 1882 it became the ranch of Benjamin F. Butler, "a prominent military figure and attorney from the east."[3]
Other elements of the complex are: an agent's stone house, a stone outbuilding, a barn, and a cow shed.[2]
It is located 26 miles southeast of Pueblo on the Huerfano River, in the plain just after the river comes out of its canyon, in the vicinity of Avondale.[2]
In 2021, the Pueblo County Assessor identifies the owner of 6916 Broadacre as "Bar Nothing Ranches LLC", which had acquired title in 1997 from the Paul Butler Trust.[4] The property has 640 acres (1.00 sq mi) total land area,[4] though only 22.5 acres (9.1 ha) is NRHP-listed.
