Concrete block with brick veneer (stretcher bond); gable roof; shed-roofed monitor dormer at rear; asymmetrical 5-bay front; recessed front and S side porches; S side balconies. Johnson, Craven and Gibson of Charlottesville, architects. Although designed in a thoroughly modern idiom, this split-level sorority house admirably maintains the scale, texture and color of the older buildings in the neighborhood.
