The Bass Mansion, also known as Brookside, is an administrative building and historic structure at the University of Saint Francis located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The hand-carved, sandstone mansion was the private residence of industrialist John Henry Bass from 1902-1944. The Sisters of Saint Francis of Perpetual Adoration bought the home and more than 65 acres of surrounding landscape from the Bass family in 1944 and relocated their college.〔Brookside Heritage, Brookside Self-Guided Tour, University of Saint Francis, page 2, 2009〕 Since 1944, the mansion served as library and residence to the college. == History == Brookside, also known as the Bass Mansion, was added, in 1982, to the National Register of Historic Places.〔http://www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com/IN/Allen/state.html, Bass, John H., Mansion (added 1982 - Building - #82000056)〕 In 1889, John Henry Bass (1835–1922), hired local architects Wing and Mahurin to build a Romanesque summer home named Brookside. He improved the landscape's aesthetic value with a man-made lake outlining the north, east and south exposures of the home. In 1902, a gas explosion ignited a basement fire destroying all but a portion of the exterior masonry. By 1903, the resurrected home incorporated a combination of stone, concrete and steel which endure to this day.〔Brookside Heritage, Broodside Self-Guided Tour, University of Saint Francis, 2009〕〔 ''Note:'' This includes and Accompanying photographs〕
