Notes
|
The Meadow Brook North Barn is on the campus of Oakland University; this site was originally the estate of Matilda Dodge Wilson wife of Douglas Dodge. Little information remains about the Oakland University barn’s beginnings. As a utilitarian building, the barn had few records. Matilda kept very detailed accounts of the farm and its buildings, except the barn.
In March of 2015 work began on the barn. Oakland University was very fortunate to have assembled a team of professionals each with a wealth of experience and related proficiencies.
Ken Brock, principle of Brock & Associates Inc. was retained to conduct the all encompassing preservation/rehabilitation. Ms. Tammis Donaldson provided architectural services as Principle of Ekocite Architecture. Launch Pad Services handled the hand painted signage. Work was completed in 2015.
