Potter House 3 - 495 State Street290 viewsThe house, as it appeared in 2006 (the one in the middle of the photo, with the triple-wide front window to the right of the entrance) was occupied by the Club in the Fall of 1938 as the third Potter House. Paul Ward `53, confirmed from the research that the house was occupied until 1943.
The State College News carried the following announcement in its September 30, 1938 issue:
The Edward Eldred Potter Club will conduct a housewarming party at the new fraternity house, 495 State Street, from 8:30 - 12:00. Potter throws its doors open to the entire student body. Everyone is urged to attend.

V. Edward Burke, 1942, was House Manager probably in his Senior year (1941-1942).

Because of declining male college enrollment during WWII , Potter Club disbanded. In the fall of 1943 the house was renamed Stokes Hall and became the home to 18 NYSCT coeds, according to Rosalie Pooler Stage, 1947. She lived in 495 State Street as a sophomore in 1944-1945.
