Text from the historical marker:
“Once the centerpiece of a 130 acre farm, this stone house and adjacent outbuildings were built by New York native John Mann in 1856. Of classical proportions, the vernacular Mann House displays a mixture of Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles. Set amid a walnut grove, the house is constructed of locally quarried sandstone. One of Dane County’s outstanding examples of sandstone construction, the Mann House became Quivey’s Grove Restaurant in 1980"
