Welcome

Welcome to The Manor on Broad. We are located in the Historic neighborhood of Port Norfolk, in Portsmouth, VA.  In Port Norfolk, you'll find tree lined streets stretching for blocks, leading to the edge of the Elizabeth River.  Most of the homes in the neighborhood date back to the early 1900's.  The Manor was actually built in 1900, so it has seen a huge amount of history unfold.  Those who have lived here throughout the years learned of the Wright Brother's famous flight, the tragedy of the Titanic, and two world wars while under this roof.

Our blog is just a little place to collect random thoughts and experiences while living in an older home. We've yet to venture into any huge or significant DYI projects, so if you're looking to learn how to install a hardwood floor or crown molding, I've got some bad news for you.  We will however, keep friends and family updated on what we are doing with the house and who knows, if we do attempt something big and bodacious, it might turn into a great laugh!

So come on in and relax. While you're getting comfy, take a little tour below through the neighborhood. You'll find character and historic charm along our streets!
