Additional Information: | This two story Craftsman house has a stucco and brick exterior, separated on the second story by a belt course. The steeply-pitched roof has brackets and a large arched dormer projects on the front of the house. Windows are largely single light sashes and there are some shallow bays. The front porch features a brick balustrade, brick piers, and a flat roof with modillions or exposed rafters. This house is a good example of a simple variation of the Craftsman style. This was the home of Henry and Clementina Potter between 1917 and 1932. Henry Potter was the president of the Commercial National Bank. Between 1934 and 1942, this was the home of Henry and Helen Twohig. Henry Twohig was a physician. Initial research indicates that the occupants of this house are not historically significant. |
