The Brooke Mansion is
attributed to renowned architect Frank Furness. Elaborate displays of fine
ornate woodwork and creative architectural design
are found throughout the 42 room mansion. Constructed
in 1888 as a wedding present for his wife by industrialist
Edward Brooke, the three-story mansion contains
a magnificent foyer with grand staircase, stained
glass, ironwork, and a circular rose wood library
all of which are outstanding examples of Furness's
suburban architecture. All rooms have private baths,
some with original claw-foot tubs. |
