Fraternity House. Colonial Revival. Built 1915. Brick (English bond); 2 1/2 stories; gambrel roof with balustraded deck; 3 pedimented front dormers; 3-bay front; side porch with Roman Doric posts. Wooden modillion cornice; round-headed dormer windows; decorative false brick arches over French doors; pedimented entry surround. Built in 1915 for Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, this finely-detailed house is reminiscent of mid-Atlantic, rather than Virginia colonial architecture.
