Marc-James Manor
Neal's Wood 
Former Estate of James F. Neal and Marc R. Belair

where it all began...

The original Marc-James Manor opened in July of 1995.



Marc-James Manor was a contemporary English Country Manor House on 2 acres
of rising ground, landscaped in English and native gardens.

Marc-James commissioned Thor Myhre, a nationally respected artist in the field of metal sculpture, to create this custom sculptural ironwork leading to the main entry.

Custom stonework stairs led to expansive gardens.

 

Autumn maples adorned the custom stone-work entry stairs. A beautiful October sunset as seen from the upper gardens.   Marc-James Manor was furnished with four centuries of ecclesiastic art and important ancestral antiques. It housed two libraries with books and incunabula dating back to the 14th Century, monumental stained and leaded glass windows and two impressive collections of English Ceramics. The Manor was situated in a country vicarage-style garden known as Neal’s Wood. A grouping of impressive stained glass windows formerly in Marc-James Manor Solarium.  The two large windows are now installed in Park Davidson, Everson Washington. The two transom windows remain in the Marc-James collection.  They originally were housed in the chapel at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, CA and were removed following the destruction of the chapel during the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906.
