John Dodge House, Historic farmhouse at Oakland University, Rochester Hills, Michigan.
The estate features a farmhouse that expanded from 14 to 30 rooms, incorporating architectural elements typical of late 19th-century rural construction.
James L. Higgins built the original structure in 1898 for $50,000, before John Dodge and Matilda Dodge Wilson acquired it as their weekend residence in 1908.
The property stands as a testament to Michigan's automotive heritage, connecting the founders of Dodge Brothers Motor Company to Oakland University's development.
