Collections: Often mistakenly cited as the birthplace of Myles Standish, Standish Hall was mostly demolished in the early 20th century (some remaining elements were adapted into two smaller houses, which were themsselves demolished in the 1980s). At the time of the 1922-23 demolition, some fireplaces and paneled rooms were sold to London dealers. Two of the rooms, the drawing room and the study, were sold to William Randolph Hearst, who kept them stored, unassembled, in his Bronx warehouse. The study (later called the state bedroom) was donated to the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1958, where it remains in storage today. The drawing room (later the Old Drawing Room) is today located at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, where it is named the Myles Standish Room. A third room, the Oak Library, was installed in the 1920s in the Ralph Harmon Booth House in Grosse Pointe City, Michigan, which remains a private home today. A fourth room, the dining room, was reinstalled at Halsway Manor, Somerset, in the 1920s, where it remains today. The drawing room and study were originally installed at Borwick Hall; the rooms were moved to Standish Hall in the late 17th century.

Chapel & Church: An 18th century Catholic brick chapel, topped by a cupola, was attached to the house.
