The Meadowbrook Stock Farm, also known as Thomas R. Murray Ranch, is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located on U.S. Route 87 near Hobson, Montana. It was added to the Register on January 13, 1992.

The main house on the property is a two-story farmhouse built of cast stone in 1908. The cast stone came in blocks made of concrete by Thomas R. Murray, the ranch founder. Three outbuildings were also built of cast stone, and there are wood frame and post-and-beam buildings as well.[2]

Some degree of Classical Revival style is added by an open one-story porch spanning the west side of the house, with wooden columns having rounded bases, blocks above their capitals, and open bracket work supporting the porch roof.[2]
