127 East 9th Street
Manley Estate
Built circa 1870, this Stick Style Italianate home underwent renovations shortly after its construction, which included the addition of a triangular bay on the right side of the house. The expansion effectively doubled the size of the residence but resulted in the loss of its driveway and side yard. A similar version of this house, without the addition, can be found at 820 Third Place. The Manley family resided in the home from approximately 1911 to 1980. John Manley, who was the first to move into the house, was a fire insurance broker and one of the leading insurance professionals in Manhattan. The front facade features arched double entry doors with intricate spindle work on the front porch and carved fretwork along the eaves of the roofline.
