Duncan Manor is a historic house located in rural McLean County, Illinois, near Towanda. The house was built circa 1866 for William R. Duncan, a livestock breeder well-respected for his short-horned cattle. The Italianate house features two three-story towers on its northwest facade; the towers feature bracketed cornices on their pyramidal roofs. The main entrance is located between the towers. The southeast side of the house features two-and-a-half story towers topped with ornamental bracketed pediments. The towers flank a two-story entrance porch topped by additional bracketing.[2]
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 1979.[1]
