It was built c. 1840 by David Hoyt, a prominent bookseller and stationer, for his wife Mary and their eight children. The house was sold to businessman Henry S. Potter in ["1850"]. Potter later became one organizers, directors, and largest stockholder of what eventually became the ["Hiram Sibley" Western Union Telegraph Company]. His daughter Henryetta Potter lived in the house until ["1907"].<br> + <br> + By ["1969"] the Hoyt-Potter House was serving as a boarding house and was in poor condition. After numerous codes violations, all tenants had vacated by ["1972"] and the owner had begun a twenty-year process of suing the city for demolition. During this time the empty building suffered numerous indignities, including vandalism and a fire that left a hole in the roof for the next eleven years.<br> + <br> + Finally, in ["1989"], the ["Landmark Society" Landmark Society of Western New York] began the long process of rehabilitating the house to serve as its headquarters. In addition to the Society's archives, the Hoyt-Potter House also contains the Wenrich Memorial Library, "[o]ne of the finest collections in this region of materials on architecture, preservation, horticulture, local history and decorative arts; and photos, slides, drawings and architectural surveys of our area’s landmarks." It is open by appointment only.<br> + <br> + The [http://cornhill.org/ Corn Hill Neighbors Association] also lives here.<br> + <br> + [[comments]]</span> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
