The Mountain Brook Estates Building is a 1928 commercial structure in Mountain Brook, Alabama, designed in Tudor Revival style as the commercial heart of the planned suburban community. Built with a steel frame clad in half-timbering, the neo-medieval building was conceived to evoke an idealized English town center. Mountain Brook Estates itself ranks among the three most significant examples of romanticized American suburbs, alongside Grosse Pointe, Michigan and Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
