"Jamestown North Carolina

Founded 1816

Potter House

c.1819

On the site of Henry Humphries' saddle and harness shop, this simple one-room, v-notched cabin with a stone foundation and chimney was soon acquired by Issac Potter for his own store which operated until 1826. The house continued to be used as a residence into the early 21st century. Additions were made in the late 19th century. It served as local headquarters during the U.S. Bicentennial."
