Meadow Brook Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Meadow Book Hall is a Tudor revival style residence located in Rochester Hills, MI on a 1,500-acre estate. It was built between 1926 and 1929 as the home of Matilda Dodge-Wilson, widow of auto pioneer John Francis Dodge and her second husband, lumber broker Alfred G. Wilson. Often referred to as one of America’s "castles", the 110-room, 88,000-square-foot home is currently the fourth largest historic house museum in the United States. It is a registered national and state historic landmark.
In 1957, Matilda Dodge-Wilson and her husband donated the entire estate, including Meadow Brook Hall, Sunset Terrace and all its other buildings and collections, along with $2 million to Michigan State University-Oakland (which later became known as Oakland University).
The Meadow Brook Concours d'Elegance, one of the largest and most prestigious collector car shows in the world, is held annually on the grounds of Meadow Brook Hall. The 28th event was held August 6th, 2006.
The current address is:
Meadow Brook Hall 480 South Adams Road Oakland University Campus Rochester Hills, MI 48309-4401
