one day, having little to do, he
walked over to Pinehurst to see
“what was going on.” At that
time Pinehurst was just being
built, and in walking around, Mr.
Pottle first met Mr. James Tufts,
who was the founder of Pine-
'hurst, Inc.
In the ensuing conversation,
Mr. Tufts l^rned that Mr. Pottle
was a hotel man (Highland
House in Jefferson), and he in
vited him to run one of his new
smaller hotels in Pinehurst. It
was not long though before Mr.
Pottle, seeking larger quarters
and perhaps more independence,
moved over to Southern Pines
where he leased the Southern
Pines House for several years (it
stood where the present day Post
Office is located.)
When Mr. Pottle’s lease ex
pired on the Southern Pines
House, his guests asked him to
build his own hotel—and at the
urging of his son Frank, who had
assisted him in the business from

present day establishment. It was
opened on November 20, 1913,
under the ownership of J. L.
Pottle & Son.
Mr. Pottle continued the active
management of the hotel until
1925, when he turned over the
reins to Frank, who with Mrs.
Pottle and their three sons and
daughter, made their home in
the hotel. They were active in
the life of the community—tak
