Estes Wilson Mann Sr. (September 14, 1894 – February 13, 1958) was an American architect based in Memphis, Tennessee. Several buildings he designed are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Mann was originally from Marianna, Arkansas. He studied at the Armour Institute in Chicago graduating in 1916. He worked as an architect in Memphis from 1919 until his death in 1958.
Early in his career, Mann worked with M. P. Renfro in Denison, Iowa and with T. H. Albright (more likely J.H. Albright who died in 1922?) in Fort Dodge, Iowa. Renfro was also active in Porterville, California. He started his own firm in Memphis (Mann & Gatling), a partnership that lasted from 1919 until 1922 with projects in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
Mann bought out Gatling in 1922 and shifted his practice to mostly residential work. George L. Richardson worked with him out of the Exchange Building (Memphis), Exchange Building in Memphis in 1928.
In his thesis paper ''Architects in Tennessee until 1930, A Dictionary'', preservationist and educator Joseph Lucian Herdon credits Mann with introducing the English Bungalow architecture and Spanish Colonial architecture styles to Memphis. Mann is credited with designing more than 1,800 residences before 1936. He was a member of several professional organizations.
