Potter & Robertson, Architects
Partners:
William A. Potter, New York, New York
Potter & Robertson was an architectural partnership in New York City, active between 1875 and 1881. Both men had trained with George B. Post and both had worked with William Appleton Potter's half-brother Edward Tuckerman Potter. William A. Potter redesigned the Lincoln Post Office, which was under construction during his term as Supervising Architect of the Treasury (1875-1877). The partners designed numerous churches before, during, and after their partnership, but they declined an invitation to submit plans for Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Omaha in 1879.
