From the caption:

"William M. Butterfield, a native of Maine, came to Manchester in 1881 and established an architect's office which now ranks second to none in the state and is excelled by few in New England. Professionally he has been engaged on several of the best buildings in the state, including The Kennard, new High School, county buildings at Grasmere, Odd Fellows building, Nashua, and more than five hundred other public and private buildings throughout New England. Mr. Butterfield is a Republican and he has represented his ward in the common council and is now a member of the general court of New Hampshire."
