Often referred to as one of America’s "castles", the 110-room, 88,000-square-foot (8,200 m2) mansion is currently the fourth largest historic house museum in the United States. It was designed by William Kapp of the firm Smith Hinchman & Grylls. It's designed in a tudor-revival style and European-inspired, however, most of the materials that were used to build the home were American-made. The playful Romanesque architectural sculpture that adorns the building was created by Corrado Parducci. Much of the original artwork collected by the Wilson's is still found at Meadow Brook including paintings by Anthony van Dyck, Rosa Bonheur, Joshua Reynolds, John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough and sculpture by Antoine-Louis Barye, Frederic Remington, Cyrus Edwin Dallin, and Herbert Haseltine. The home and the surrounding estate, known as Meadow Brook Farms, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 1957, Matilda Dodge Wilson and her husband donated the entire estate, including Meadow Brook Hall, Sunset Terrace, the Wilson's retirement home, and all its other buildings and collections, along with $2 million to found Michigan State University-Oakland (now Oakland University). They lived in the Sunset Terrace home until his death in 1962. Mrs. Wilson returned to Meadowbrook Hall and lived there until her death in 1967.
