Law, Law and Potter, Architects
— 1928 —
The Chi Phi fraternity house is an outstanding example of the Tudor Revival style and is constructed of Madison sandstone. The striking design featuring steeply pitched and parapeted gables is one of the most accomplished works of premier Madison architects Law, Law and Potter who designed several of the fraternity and sorority houses on Langdon Street. The building is significant for its association with collegiate social organizations: the Chi Phi fraternity is the nation's oldest fraternity. Wisconsin's Kappa of Chi Phi chapter was founded in 1911 and was chartered in 1916.Designated March 07, 1994HM Number | HM1HRK |
