Pottersville, like many modest dwellings, has a complicated and interesting history of construction, changes, addition, and improvement in various ways since it was built. The house is located on 2 acres and is currently owned by Preservation South Carolina. Though it has suffered from 30 years of neglect, much of its historic fabric is intact and can be rehabilitated.
