The Roger Butler House is a historic house at 146 Jordan Lane in Wethersfield, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney and a centered entrance. Porches, probably added in the mid-19th century, are on the east and back sides. The front entrance was at one time sheltered by an Italianate hood, but that has been removed. The interior retains original flooring, woodwork, and door hardware. The house was built c. 1769 by Roger Butler, and remained in the hands of his descendants until 1954. Local lore claims that the house was a stop on the Underground Railroad in the 19th century.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
