Mayfair Manor

16th Street South of Bethany Home

One of the first housing developments along the 12th Street corridor by Raph Haver, Mayfair Manor is a fairly original neighborhood at risk. Two-story additions and knockdowns have preservationists and neighbors concerned. The designs are a transitional iteration between the small homes of Southdale and the more fully realized homes of Northwood and Starlite Vista. Concrete masonry unit construction, low-pitched gable roofs, and masonry walls with square voids near entryways are characteristics expressed here first on a mass scale. The development dates back to 1950.
