Brooks Farm

Stanley died in 1873 and the farm passed to his daughter Elizabeth and her husband Frank Ford.

[3] The Brooks family continued to live in the house until the mid-1970s,[3] when they sold it to the Kresge Foundation.

[2] The Foundation continues to use the property as their headquarters, and has connected the original farmhouse and barn with a modern addition in 2006.

[3] The farmhouse is a well-preserved two-story fieldstone Greek Revival structure built on a rectangular plan with side gables.

[3] The front facade has a single-story, columned porch with Gothic detail, and the date of construction (1852) is carved into a stone block above the east-side window.
