Description

Two tickets for a guided tour of Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, Michigan, a national historic landmark.


Meadow Brook Hall is the historic home built by one of the automotive aristocracy's most remarkable women, Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of auto pioneer John Dodge, and her second husband, Alfred Wilson, founders of Oakland University.


Constructed between 1926 and 1929, Meadow Brook Hall represents one of the finest examples of Tudor-revival style architecture in America and is especially renowned for its superb craftsmanship, architectural detailing and grand scale of 8,000 square feet.


It was the center of a country estate that included 1,500 acres, numerous farm buildings, recreational facilities, several residences and formal gardens.


Carefully preserved with original family furnishings and art, the 110-room mansion is elaborately detailed with carved wood and stone, ornate plaster ceilings, Tiffany stained glass, custom made hardware, and filled with fine and decorative art.
