DATES
May 12-June 11, 2006
LOCATION
Brooks House
601 Bushaway Road, Wayzata
Wayzata, MN
PROFILE OF BROOKS HOUSE
The Brooks house is a large, two-and-one-half story, Tudor Revival Style
lake shore residence with a compound plan, a cross-gabled roof, a massive stone chimney, and front and rear porches. The walls are stucco finished with decorative half-timbering and the roof is covered with false-thatch asphalt shingles. An upper story wing with a clipped gable roof overhangs the colonnaded front entry. Tall, narrow windows occur in multiple groups and feature multi-pane glazing. The house faces west, overlooking Wayzata Bay, and is an established feature of the historic Locust Hills/Carpenter's Point neighborhood. A carriage house, echoing the house in design and materials, is located next to Bushaway Road. The property is in a good state of preservation and has been only slightly modified from its historic appearance.
Built in 1919, the house was the lake estate of Minneapolis banker Dwight F. Brooks (1849-1930), whose family had their Lake Minnetonka summer home on Big Island for many years. A notable example of the Tudor Revival Style, the historical significance of the property lies in its association with the theme of lake shore domestic architecture in the context of Residential Neighborhoods: Locust Hills/Carpenter's Point (1900-1945).
FEATURED IDC 7 SERIES GARAGE DOORS
FIve custom doors by IDC will be featured including two on the main home and three on the guardhouse. The home's garage doors are prominently featured at the top of the grand entry drive. Because of this, maintaining the historical character of the home is important to the project, affecting the choice of design, materials and finishes. The clear cedar garage doors are specially finished to echo the patina on the home's oak entry door, offering an integrated look in keeping with the historicity of the entire estate.
