The community suffered a financial blow when its central building burned down in 1846

The farm was 170 acres

Brook Farm was based on the ideals of Transcendentalism: by pooling labor they could sustain the community and still have time for literary and scientific pursuits

In 1844, the community started struggling financially and soon drafted an entirely new constitution and committed to following more closely the Fourierist (not everyone at the community supported the transition and many left)
