Its hipped roofs with dormers, deep overhangs, two-story front portico with brick columns and wraparound porch give it an imposing look that combines American Foursquare and Classical Revival styling. It was the home of W. M. Gibbs, superintendent of the Manning sawmill, and later of Morgan and Ruby Flournoy, who arrived in 1929 as schoolteachers and raised five children. Manning grew around a large lumber mill that employed about 300 people and could cut 34 million board feet a year before it burned in 1936. The house is one of only two surviving structures that represent the town. It was renovated in 1986-1987 and is described as unoccupied. Its architectural quality, notable for a rural residence in the area, supports its local significance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"American Foursquare/Classical Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition described as good, renovated 1986-1987; the house is described as currently unoccupied, and a farm outbuilding at the rear is in poor condition.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.035981-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/92/9678/40967892/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002804.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40967892","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001397"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/angelina-county/gibbs-flournoy-house-88002804/"}
