Today’s feature on a historic Durban landmark focuses on the Manor House in 14 Nuttall Gardens, Morningside. Its porticos and colonnades were designed in a Revived English Baroque architectural style, and is a significant Berea landmark near Mitchell Park. The home was built circa 1904 for sugar baron Sir Liege Hulett, who also built Kearsney House, “a well made and designed mansion with large, furnished reception rooms and 22 bedrooms”.
