Be a part of Manchesters initiative to promote long-term economic and social vitality of the towns historic neighborhoods. Zoning regulations allow a variety of uses including restaurant, retail, office space, multi-unit housings, etc. The property on .85 acres can be permitted for a multi family dwelling up to 7 units. An additional .78 acres is available for purchase. The Manley house built in the 1890s by Mark L. Manley, a local businessman who had partnered in a variety of mercantile ventures in Manchester Depot beginning in the 1870s. In 1909 he purchased the successful Cone & Burton business from Allen L. Graves on Main Street and Manchester Center and opened a branch of the Combination Cash franchise which remained in the Manley family well into the 1960s. During the building of the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue in Manhattan by the Norcross and West Co., marble was transported from the quarries in South Dorset, VT to Manchester on the Manchester, Dorset & Granville Railroad from 1903-1916. The track crossed the Manley property on the east side of the barn and the raised track bed and ties are still apparent today. Only three families have owned this notable Center Hill property.
