In 1867, New York State Supreme Court Judge Joseph H. Potter
(1821-1902) purchased, from Melancton Wheeler, the property
on which Skene Manor stands. This land had previously been
owned by Philip Skene, founder of Whitehall (formerly Skenesborough). Judge Potter built a Victorian Gothic-style mansion, which he called "Mountain Terrace," on the property. The mansion was designed by Philadelphia architect, Isaac H. Hobbs, and constructed by local contractor, A. C. Hopson. Construction took place from 1872 to 1874 at a cost of approximately $250,000. The building was constructed of gray sandstone quarried from Skene Mountain by stone cutters from Italy.
