George V. Pottle (1875) was a highly skilled architect during the early 1900s, a time when Detroit’s population boom led to an increased demand for sophisticated, well-designed homes.
His work reflected the architectural golden age’s preference for expert craftsmanship, which went a long way in elevating Detroit’s reputation as a place well-suited for the city’s rising professional class.
Within the Arden Park-East Boston Historic District, Pottle was the architect commissioned to design the Caleb M. East House at 230 E. Boston Blvd, a stately property situated reinforcing the district’s reputation as one of Detroit’s most prestigious neighborhoods.
