Back

Captain Zebulon Butler lived on the southeast corner of Northampton and River streets where later was the Judge John Butler Woodward home.

Colonel Ethan Allen was entertained here in 1786.

In this house Luzerne County was organized, its courts established, and its officials inducted into office by Colonel Timothy Pickering.

Lord Butler, son of Zebulon appointed the first Postmaster of Wilkes-Barre in 1794, kept the office here.
