Mann, Henry, House
723 14th St., NW, Albuquerque, NMThis house was home to the Mann family, major market gardeners in turn-of the-century Albuquerque. Their large garden plot with its irrigation pond was located a few blocks north and west of this house, across Mountain Road: an 1898 map shows this as the John Mann Market Garden, and in 1907 it is labelled the Mann Brothers Market Garden. Probably much of the produce was sold in the brick store in Old Town run by Charlie Mann, one of the brothers. Henry Mann is listed as the resident in the 1908 City Directory John, Henry, and Charlie were three of eleven children.
The primary significance of this house is architectural: easily the earliest building in this north part of the Peare Addition, it is a notable example of Albuquerque Queen Anne styling.
Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
