Manoir Minette is a 7,000 square-foot 5-bedroom, 5 1/2-bath French manor-style residence on a 6.1-acre site at 4132 Old Leeds Road in Mountain Brook. It was built in 1961 for Margaret Bush and designed by Henry Sprott Long. Mrs Bush entertained many celebrity visitors at her home before she sold it in 1984 to Mr and Mrs Harold Bissell.

The Bissells sold the home to Tommy and Margaret Tucker, who later sold it to Hubert and Michelle Green. The Green's have listed the house for sale with a price of $2.6 million.

The home was used for the 1985 and 2009 Decorators ShowHouse events benefitting the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.
