History and architectural features
This district includes nine contributing buildings and one contributing site in Centre Hall. The district includes the Potter–Allison House, a nineteenth-century wood barn, and a variety of outbuildings, including a hog barn, equipment buildings, a corn crib, a stone slaughterhouse, and a springhouse. Also located on the property are the remains of milling and tanning operations.
The Georgian-style house was built circa 1817, with a Victorian section added sometime during the 1850s. It is a two-and-one-half-story brick dwelling.
The property was originally owned and developed by General James Potter (1729–1789), who built a log cabin and grist mill.
The property was acquired by the locally prominent Allison family in 1849.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]
