The Manor House is a condominium building in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Completed in 1908, it was designed by architect John Edmund Oldaker Pridmore in the Tudor Revival style.[2] The building is often said to have served as the residence of the British consul in Chicago, though the Edgewater Historical Society has found no evidence supporting this claim.[3]

The Manor House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[4] It was later designated a contributing property to the Bryn Mawr Historic District, which was listed on the Register in 1995.[5]
