Regarding T. Manley Whitener House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination (2019 boundary increase):
Two-storyColonial Revival house of brick-veneered frame construction with an asphalt-shingled side-gable roof. The pedimented front entry porch has fluted Ionic columns and pilasters and raking and horizontal dentil cornices. The wood-paneled entry has sidelights and an elliptical fanlight. Many of the eight-over-eight wood sash windows have soldier lintels. Exterior brick chimneys with paved shoulders rise on both gable ends. Other features include quarter-round louvered gable vents and an apparently modern one-story brick-veneered attached garage addition that may date to 1992. Former address: 1719 12th Ave. T. Manley (or Manly) Whitener lived here in 1941, 1943 and 1947. The county date for the house is 1938 with a 1992 remodeling.
