Brown's Manor is a historic house at 115 High Street in Ipswich, Massachusetts. It is a 2+12-story Second Empire structure, with brick walls decorated with wooden trim, and a mansard roof pierced by segmented-arch dormers. The building corners have white-painted wood quoining, and the front entrance, set in a round-arch opening, is sheltered by a porch supported by grouped paneled columns. The house was built about 1886, probably by George Brown, who purchased the property that year. Brown was from a family known locally for its house-building skills.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
