In 1893, Stokes built Shadowbrook, a 100-room Berkshire Cottage at Lenox, Massachusetts.
Shadowbrook was so large that a family anecdote tells of Anson Phelps Stokes Jr. being told by his mother while playing outside one day that because there was a storm gathering he should come inside and bicycle in the attic.
Shadowbrook was sold in 1906 to Spencer P. Shotter a wealthy turpentine magnate from Georgia.
