Mountain Brook Estates Building
The Mountain Brook Estates Building is a commercial building in the planned community of Mountain Brook, Alabama. The neo-medieval building was built as the commercial center of the suburban community. Built in 1928, it is a steel structure clad with half-timbering meant to evoke an idealized English town center. Mountain Brook Estates is one of the three most significant examples of a romanticized suburb in the United States, along with Grosse Pointe, Michigan and Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri.〔
==Description==
The Mountain Brook Estates Building is a one and two story steel-framed structure with five ground floor commercial tenant spaces. Offices are on the second floor. It is situated on the town center circle, with one-story arms on side streets. The building is underlain by a full basement. The ground floor is mainly brick, while the upper level is mainly half-timbering and stucco. The roof is tile shingle. The design is a picturesque interpretation of early English town buildings.〔
The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 8, 2003.〔
