Sidney Mandle Estate Employed Workers

Who knew that, in 1933, local clay magnate Mr. Sidney Mandle provided work for numerous unemployed workers? Using a Memphis architect and local craftsmen, he transformed his bungalow home at 505 Walnut Street to a classic federal style. The year-long project doubled the size of the house, added a pool and replaced all the brick. Except for removal of the pool, it remains unchanged.
