Estes Wilson Mann Sr. (September 14, 1894 - February 13, 1958) was an architect based in Memphis, Tennessee. Several buildings he designed are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. He was originally from Marianna, Arkansas.[1]
Mann was born in Arkansas.[2] He studied at the Armour Institute in Chicago graduating in 1916.[2] He worked as an architect in Memphis from 1919 until his death in 1958.[2]
Early in his career, Mann worked with M.P. Renfro in Denison, Iowa and with T.H. Albright (more likely J.H. Albright who died in 1922?)[3] in Fort Dodge, Iowa.[2] Renfro was also active in Porterville, California.[4][5] He started his own firm in Memphis (Mann & Gatling), a partnership that lasted from 1919 until 1922 with projects in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas.[2]
Mann bought out Gatling in 1922 and shifted his practice to mostly residential work.[2] George L. Richardson worked with him out of the Exchange Building in Memphis in 1928.[6]
In his thesis paper Architects in Tennessee until 1930, A Dictionary, preservationist and educator Joseph Lucian Herdon credits Mann with introducing the English Bungalow architecture and Spanish Colonial architecture styles to Memphis.[2][7] Mann is credited with designing more than 1,800 residences before 1936.[2] He was a member of several professional organizations.[2] He is buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis.[8]
