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.
