• Remarks on the Manning House by David Gavenda N.B. The room in which Robert Manning stored his fruit was not the room to the right of the entry, but to the left, now the living room of 33 Dearborn. Also, Robert Manning, Sr. did indeed have four children: Maria (1826-1917), Robert, Jr. (1827-1902), Richard (1830-1904), Rebecca (1834-1933). Finally, the Manning House was completed in 1824. These corrections were supplied by Loretta Rainville, current occupant of 33 Dearborn Street.
