Often described as an American castle, Meadow Brook Hall is located on the campus of Oakland University. This 80,000-square-foot, 110-room Tudor mansion was inspired by English manor houses. It was completed in 1929 as a home for Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of automobile pioneer John Dodge and of lumber baron Alfred Wilson. The home has 39 chimneys and is elaborately crafted with hand-carved wood, ceramic art tile, molded ceilings and ornate fixtures. In the Hall is an extensive collection of lavish paintings, sculptures, furniture and other art objects. Daily tours are USD15 for adults, USD10 for ages 62 and over, free for children under 12.
