133 Chancellor St

From the National Register nomination

Fraternity house. Colonial Revival. Built 1902. Brick (5-course American bond); 2½ stories; gable roof with parapets; symmetrical 3-bay gable-end fronts; monumental tetrastyle Roman Doric porticoes on east and west fronts. Terra-cotta plaque with fraternity insignia in gable ends; fanlights over all first-floor front openings; bullseye window in each gable. Built for the Upsilon chapter of Delta Psi fraternity (est. at UVa in 1852), this was the first house in Charlottesville built specifically for a fraternity. Designed by a unknown New York architect, it originally fronted on Chancellor Street, but before 1920 was given an identical west portico to face Madison Bowl as well.
