Brooks Mansion: Brooks Mansion and its grounds are a Brookland landmark, occupying an entire square in the neighborhood.

Brooks Mansion is a Greek Revival-style plantation house built by wealthy landowners Ann and Jehiel Brooks around 1840. A large eastern addition to this house was built by the Marist Society, which altered Brooks Mansion for use in 1894. This made Brooks Mansion the Society of Mary’s first permanent administrative center and house of studies before the Marists formally constructed Marist College near the Catholic University of America grounds. Since its construction, the house has been a significant landmark in the Brookland neighborhood.

The grounds of Brooks Mansion uniquely reflect the history of Brookland's development, from Colonial days to the present.

It has changed ownership many times over the course of its history, and its tenants have included the Benedictine Sisters of Elizabeth, New Jersey; Catholic University; St. Anthony's High School; the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority (WMATA); and the Public Access Corporation for the District of Columbia (DCTV).
