Notes
  • Significance: The Colonial House was the Phi Delta Psi sorority house. Its Classical or Colonial Revival design was popular in the late nineteenth century because of the nationalism stirred up by the Bicentennial celebrations and the World's Columbian Exposition, and because of the xenophobia caused by massive foreign immigration. The architectural style was common component of fashionable Beaux-Art site plans. It was one of three Classical Revival buildings constructed by Cassedy near the end of his building campaign
