Notes:
This Stick Style house is much larger than the frontage shows- it has more depth than width. It appears in good condition. The Manings were prominent nurserymen in Reading. They were responsible for landscaping the Massachusetts Building at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893
