Additional Information: | "This is the first period revival house built for Delta Gamma sorority (their second and current home is at 103 Langdon Street). The oldest sorority at the university, Delta Gamma was founded in 1881. This old house is the best example in the district of the half-timber versoin of the Tudor revival style. The details of the house are typically Tudor, including a brick first floor and a pseudo-half-timber second story. The steeply pitched gables of the house are also prominent elements of the style."
