Located at 500 S. Center St, this house was designed by architect Charles Alexander Gill and built on a lot received as a wedding gift from Yancy McKellar. It was the home of local business and civic leaders William A. and Blanche Brooks and their family.

Built in the Queen Anne style in 1898, the home was remodeled and updated with Colonial Revival style elements in 1915. Prominent features included a round turret, intricately detailed chimneys, and a wraparound porch, typical of the homes built in this area at the turn of the 20th century. The Brooks House is a significant part of Forney's architechtural heritage.

The Brooks house was also used in a paint commercial with Bob Vila a few years back.
