The Noud Home

Local lumberman, businessman and former city mayor, Patrick Noud, had this elegant mansion constructed for his family beginning in 1894. Noud announced he was going to construct a "magnificent residence" on Maple Street. Designed by the nationally famous "Chicago School" architects, Holabird and Roche, construction began on the home in that spring and by November of the following year, Noud and his large family moved in. The red brick, three-story home in the Colonial Revival Style served as one of Manistee's most popular community centers for both young and old and it was the site for many lavish parties and dances. In 1952, the home became the Adams Funeral Home and remained as such for several years before once again being restored as a single-family residence.
