Custom-built in 1948 by C.D. & Ruth McCormick Pottinger, prominent local businesspeople and lifelong residents of Logan County, this well-constructed home features quality materials and meticulous attention to detail. It includes many subtle touches and distinctive features that give it timeless appeal, such as hardwood floors throughout, original French doors, hardware and fixtures, subway and hexagon tile, summer and winter cedar-lined closets, and matching stone outbuildings.

The main floor includes a front entryway with guest closets and a foyer with French doors. The spacious living room features a gas log fireplace flanked by bookcases and French doors.
