Edward Tuckerman Potter
(1831–1904), a native of Schenectady, New York, was a prominent American
architect. He is known for designing the Mark Twain House (1871) in Hartford,
Connecticut. He married Julia Maria Blatchford (1834–1922), and the couple
lived abroad in London and Paris for many years, before Edward's retirement,
after which they remained primarily in Newport, Rhode Island.
