4801 Newport Avenue was built in 1910 by Dr. John Wyche Manning and his wife, Jennie. Dr. Manning was born in Alabama in 1868, the only son of eight siblings, and graduated from Atlanta Dental College in 1898 as President of his class.
In 1901 he moved to Norfolk and opened a dental office in the Bank of Commerce Building, where he practiced for the next 35 years.
He was instrumental in building the Christian Temple at 34th and Llewellyn, which now sits abandoned.
He and his wife had two daughters and a son. His son, Wymer Manning, was also a local dentist.

CPRV kicks off spooky season with community spirit, September updates, upcoming meetings, special election, Happy Hour, and Art Walk fun this fall!
This month we gather at Maker’s Craft Brewery (5104 Colley Ave, Norfolk) on Wednesday, October 15th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. See you there!
* This is a 21+ Event and each participant is responsible for their own tab.
Our September Community Happy Hour at Elation Brewing was a fantastic success! CPRV neighbors enjoyed lively conversation, delicious pizza, and local brews, making new connections and celebrating a great local business.
On September 6th, the Colonial Place Riverview (CPRV) Civic League held its first-ever community yard sale, with over 27 residents participating. The event not only helped neighbors clear out their attics, but also raised much-needed funds for the civic league and sparked a welcome increase in membership.
