History

The Brinkerhoff-Becker House was built in 1863–69.[2] It was eventually purchased by J. M. B. Sill, one of the early Principals of the Michigan State Normal School (now Eastern Michigan University).[3] Charles J. Becker purchased the house in 1889,[3] and remodeled it in 1891 to include the prominent tower.[2] The Becker family lived there until approximately 1918. It was later remodeled into apartments.

The house is currently owned by Eastern Michigan University and is split into four apartments.[4]

Description

The Brinkerhoff-Becker House is a 2-1/2 story square frame Queen Anne structure. Its more recognizable architectural feature is the round tower with a helmet dome at the corner.[2]
