8 Potters Terrace, Skene Mountain, Whitehall, New York USA • Known as Skene Manor since 1946, it is now operated by the Whitehall Skene Manor Preservation, Inc.. ∞ History: In 1867, New York State Supreme Court Judge Joseph H. Potter (1821-1902) purchased, from Melancton Wheeler, the property on which Skene Manor stands. This land had previously been owned by Philip Skene, founder of Whitehall (formerly Skenesborough). Judge Potter built a Victorian Gothic-style mansion, which he called "Mountain Terrace," on the property. The mansion was designed by Philadelphia architect, Isaac H. Hobbs, and constructed by local contractor, A. C. Hopson. Construction took place from 1872 to 1874 at a cost of approximately 0,000. The building was constructed of gray sandstone quarried from Skene Mountain by stone cutters from Italy. …
Skene Manor's Architecture and Design: The manor's slate roof has six dormers and decorative pediments in the peak of the main tower. Decorative wrought iron, 18 inches in height, outlines the ridge of each roof. There are five chimneys constructed of native stone. The cornices have decorative wooden brackets. The porte-cochere, which was recently restored, is no longer in use due to the 1960s addition of a kitchen which blocks the roadway. A wide porch extends to the front of the porte-cochere, and a small northwest porch has been dismantled for repairs and restoration.
The interior reflects the original Victorian style, although some alterations were made in the 1960s. There are three stories, each 3000 square feet in area, ten bedrooms, and three dining rooms. Seven of the original eight fireplaces (one marble and six slate) remain in the home. One was removed during the addition of the kitchen. The stair rail and banister are made of mahogany, walnut, oak, and birch. Stained-glass windows are located on the stair landing and over the front door. The main foyer has an original three-foot wall mural depicting a medieval hunt scene, and the rooms are enhanced with deep ceiling moldings. – From the official website.
☞ On May 2, 1974, the National Park Service added this building to the National Register of Historic Places (#74001316).
