- Description
Dr. Richard B. Potter came to South Florida in 1874 from Cincinnati, Ohio, along with his brother George. They lived on Biscayne Bay near 85th Street and N.E. 10th Avenue. Although Richard Potter was a physician, the scarcity of people made the practice of medicine an unprofitable profession. By 1875, in addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Potter was a coontie digger, a Customs Inspector and a Deputy U.S. Marshal.
