Whippoorwill was the name of Jared Potter's home in Lakewood. Construction on the house began in 1839. The gardens Kirtland kept at Whippoorwill were legendary, and many scientists, naturalists and even celebrities traveled to view them. Mrs. H. E. Willard was the last owner of the home. In 1953, despite local protests, the home was sold to Kroger's grocery store and torn down to make way for a new facility. | Source: Lakewood Historical SocietyDownload Original File
