Marion Manley was one of the South Florida's premier architects and the second woman registered to practice in the state. Born in Junction City, Kansas in 1893, she moved to Miami in 1917 after graduating from the University of Illinois. During a successful career that spanned nearly fifty years, Manley sought to improve Miami's built environment by serving on several civic committees involved with urban development and long range planning.
Manley embraced the principles of what would become known as vernacular architecture in her designs for both residential and public buildings. As a result, she produced structures that incorporated local materials, were functional, simplistic, and designed to withstand South Florida's tropical climate. Among her notable projects were several buildings for the University of Miami (in this collection) and the Asolo Theater building at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota (not in this collection).

The collection comprises architectural drawings, photographs and papers pertaining to Manley’s career. The drawings are working plans for her later designs; earlier drawings were destroyed by the architect when she moved from her Coconut Grove office. Clients for whom buildings were designed include Betsy and Denman Fink, Melville Bell Grosvenor, Sengra (developer of Miami Lakes), University of Miami, Philip Wylie, and Herbert S. Zim.
The papers include some correspondence, photographs, and newspaper clippings. The photographs are primarily of the houses she designed or refurbished. Two albums contain photographs of renderings of proposed buildings and aerial images of the University of Miami.
