Where can you experience a historic mansion for yourself? Behind every locked door and hidden stairwell, there’s a story waiting to be told. Meet Connor Newton, Associate Director of Visitor Services at Meadow Brook Hall, an 88,000-square-foot, 110-room Tudor Revival mansion in Rochester Hills, MI that’s larger than the White House!
Once home to the Dodge family, the estate still holds secrets, including a hidden stairwell tucked within its walls. Beyond the mansion, Meadow Brook’s stunning gardens host events year-round, and the estate itself welcomes visitors all year long. Connor knows every corner of this Metro Detroit-area landmark and gave us an inside look most guests never see.
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. 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 88,000 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. Named a National Historic Landmark in 2012, Meadow Brook Hall strives to preserve and interpret its architecture, landscape, and fine and decorative art so that visitors may be entertained, educated and inspired by history. Meadow Brook Hall is located in Rochester, Mich. on the campus of Oakland University.
