Miles-Humes House
Miles-Humes House, also known as the Potter Home, is a historic home located at Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania. It currently serves as the Centre County Library & Historical Museum.
== History ==
The Miles-Humes house was originally built circa 1814-1816〔National Register of Historic Places. Application for inclusion: Miles-Humes house. 1976.〕 for Captain Joseph Miles, the co-founder of both Milesburg, Pennsylvania and the Centre Furnace Iron Works. He sold the house in 1830 to William Wilson Potter and his wife, Lucy, who continued to reside in the house after William's death in 1839. She lived in the house alone until she convinced her niece, Lucy Alexander, and nephew-in-law, Edward Humes, to move in with her.〔Montgomery, Dot. "Library will be a Stop on May 19 Homes Tour." ''Pennsylvania Mirror'' May 15, 1976.〕
After Edward Humes' death in 1895, his children William Potter Humes and Ann Elmira Humes took up ownership of the house and decided to renovate it.〔Kerstetter, Rich. "Miles-Humes Building received a Big Lift." ''Centre Daily Times'' February 14, 2003.〕 The Humes siblings remodeled the house extensively, including moving the entire house several feet from the street. The house stayed in the Humes family until Ann's death in 1934, when she donated the house for use as a public library.〔Montgomery, Dorothy. "Library 'house'--160 years old." ''Pennsylvania Mirror'' March 28, 1975.〕 The house officially opened as the Centre County Library in 1939. In 1977, the main library collection moved across the street. The house continues to serve as the administrative offices for the library, and more importantly as a specialize local history and genealogical reference library. 〔Centre County Library and Historical Museum: History. http://www.centrecountylibrary.org/content/history Accessed November 22, 2011.〕
