From the National Register nomination

Built as a detached dwelling; now a fraternity house. Georgian Revival. Built 1906. Brick (stretcher bond); 2½ stories; steep hipped roof with front cross-gable; symmetrical 3-bay front; 1-story front veranda. Wooden dentil cornice; Palladian window in front cross-gable; brick quoins; segmental- and flat-arched brick window heads; veranda with Roman Doric posts and projecting central bay. Perhaps the earliest house in the District displaying strong Palladian motifs, the Wood House has been occupied by three fraternities: Theta Chi in the 1920s, Phi Delta Theta between 1941 and 1963, and Delta Tau Delta from 1963 to the present.
