This 2 1/2 story Queen Anne structure was built between 1863-69 for insurance and real estate agent Hezekiah Brinkerhoff. The Brinkerhoff's owned the home until 1890. In 1891, it was purchased by Charles J. Becker who remodeled it to include the prominent tower. Eventually, the home was purchased by John M.B. Sill who was the Principal of the Michigan State Normal School from 1886-1893. The home is currently owned by EMU and is split into four different apartments that students over the age of twenty can rent during the school year.
