Potter House 2 - 205 Ontario Street

This photo is from the 1936 Pedagogue. Note the EEP sign over the stairway. This house was occupied by the Club in the Fall 1935. The Club held its first open house in Fall of 1935. At the time there were 11 Potter upper classmen residing at the house. It continued as a Potter residency until the Fall of 1938, at which time the move was made to 495 State Street. This information from Norm Arnold, `40, who lived right across the street with Richard Dooley, `40, in their Frosh year. The earliest date of occupancy and details of the Open House have been confirmed from University records by Paul Ward, `53. There is some dispute about the correct address on Ontario. Some sources say it was 203. even 213 was mentioned. The house pictured at 205 sits at the corner of Ontario and State Streets. The area to the rear of the house is vacant in the 1936 picture. The building was apparently owned by the College. After the move by Potter Club to 495 State Street, it was then occupied by Sigma Lambda Sigma, according to information on their web site (see links on our home page).
