Brooks Street is a street in Galesburg. It runs east-west, and marks the 500 block south.

The street runs from the western end shortly west of Harding Street to the eastern end where it meets Grand Avenue. Brooks Street has several gaps in its right-of-way, most notably where it would cross the Knox campus and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe mainline track (although it does form the driveway to CFA and the Memorial Gym). The other gap is a small area between Henderson Street and St. Joseph Road.

West of Broad Street it is called West Brooks Street, and east of Broad Street it is called East Brooks Street.

Features[edit]

Brooks is the access road for the Memorial Gym and CFA, and abuts those as well as Old Phi Delt House, Blodgett Field, and the softball field.

Except in the area around Knox College, Brooks Street is primarily residential.
