Manuel Jimenez was born in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. After his older brother, Antonio, died in
1936, he became the oldest of his siblings and took care of
his two younger brothers, Angel and Jorge. Manuel studied
Architecture and emigrated to the United States in
1957. Manuel's home in New York, located at 88 Perry
Street and Bleecker, was built in 1868 and is legendary for
many residents of the Far West Villages, as well as many
tourists worldwide. Manuel was very proud of his home. He
loved to improve and beautify his surroundings and did so
for many other for clients and friends. Manuel's
architectural background provided him many different
experiences and opportunities to explore design and
construction, at which he excelled. Manuel's heart was
always with his widowed mother in Buenos Aires whom he cared
for until the time of her death. We will miss him dearly!
