The Potter's House sits behind a modest storefront on Columbia Road, distinguished by its weathered green exterior and the heavy wooden door that opens into a combined café and bookstore. Founded in nineteen sixty, this space began as a project by the Church of the Saviour to serve as a hub for community dialogue and radical social activism. Its founders hosted civil rights organizers and anti-war speakers, turning the quiet bookshop into a deliberate center for neighborhood organizing during the civil rights movement.
