Significance: The J.W. Mann House is historically significant for its association with early twentieth century dairy farming- a thriving agricultural business in north Dekalb County during the early decades of the twentieth century. Architecturally, the house illustrates a common and widely constructed house type- the Craftsman Bungalow- a style used frequently for rural farm houses throughout the southeast prior to World War II. The Mann House, once isolated in a rural, agricultural context, is now surrounded by post World War II development on nearby Clairmont Road and Buford Highway.
