History

One of the house's bedrooms

The house was built from 1883 through 1884 by Daniel Sears Mann and his wife Ellen so that their daughters, Jessie Ellen and Mary Ida, could attend school in Concord. Jessie Eleen lived in the house until she died in 1969, when it was bequeathed to the people of Michigan. The Michigan Historical Center has operated it as a museum since 1970.[2][3] The house was named a Michigan State Historic Site on June 18, 1970, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1970. The house is representative of 1880s middle-class household architecture.[2][4]

Design

Carriage house

The mostly rectangular frame house was designed in the Late Victorian style. The walls are covered in clapboard siding. Above the entrance, at one corner, stands a pyramidal tower. The roof is a cross-gable with a small amount of Eastlake Style trim on the vergeboards, front door, porch and gablets.[2] A carriage house is located behind the house.[2][3] The interior houses most of the original furnishings and household implements.[2] The ceilings are plaster and there is a marbleized slate fireplace inside.[3]
