The plan for the Manners Mansions was drawn and constructed by the Emley and Williamson firm in 1940. The Building has the same features as the Ansteys building's owing to the fact that it was designed by the same construction firm. Manners Mansions was famous for its ground floor high end shops and its beautiful curved art deco bronze and glass shop fronts. It also has the rounded corner house which for years was a popular venue for cigarette-and pipe-smokers.[2]
Design
The building was constructed in the 1940's by Emley and Williamson. It resembles many buildings in New York built around the same time.
