PROPOSAL ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story house with horizontal wood siding, a side-gabled roof with exposed rafter tails and gabled portico, and 1:1 wood windows. The house at 2711 Manor Road, also listed in City directories as 2713 Manor, was constructed around the early 1930s. Its earliest documented residents were Charles O. and Evelyn Barker, who lived in the home until at least 1959.
