Brooks Farm, Historic farm in Troy, United States
The William Brooks Farm features a two-story Greek Revival fieldstone house with six-over-six windows, shutters, and a columned porch with Gothic details.
Washington Stanley founded the farm in 1826, building a log cabin before constructing the current fieldstone house in 1852 for his family of six children.
The property represents early American agricultural development in southeastern Michigan, with multiple structures including barns, a smokehouse, and a milk house.
The Kresge Foundation currently maintains the three-acre property at 3521 Big Beaver Road as their headquarters following a 2006 expansion project.
The construction date remains carved above one of the east-side windows of the farmhouse, marking its establishment during the mid-nineteenth century.
