Its resident fraternity was one of the two founding chapters of Alpha Rho Chi; it formed as the Arcus Society in 1911 and became the Anthemios chapter of Alpha Rho Chi in 1914.

The fraternity's members were all students in architecture or a related field; its name came from the first three letters in the Greek word for architecture, and the chapter's namesake was a famous Greek architect.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 23, 1997.

The building blends elements of the French Eclectic and English Arts and Crafts styles; significant details include the corner tower over its arched entrance, brick chimneys at the narrow ends of its L-shaped plan, decorative brickwork, and a steep tile hip roof.
