History
The Potter County Courthouse was designed by William Bell of Warren County, with the construction beginning in 1851 and being completed in 1853.[2] In 1888, the roof of the courthouse was altered, leading to controversary over the "squandering" of tax money on a relatively new courthouse.[2] The courthouse was renovated by the Civil Works Administration in the winter of 1933–34.[2]
