Description
Most of the property (hundreds and hundreds of acres) between what is now M-32 and the Thunder Bay River and Bagley Street and Lake Winyah Road was owned by the Potters (William H. and F. N.) and was the Riverside Stock Farm - or more commonly known as The Potter Fram. The house and barns pictured were located not too far behind what is now Wal-Mart and Home Depot.
Notes
