Michigan Alpha Chapter House of Phi Delta Theta

The Phi Delta Theta House located at 1437 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a splendid example of Georgian Revival architecture.

Phi Delta Theta was the seventh fraternity established at the University of Michigan, installed on November 28, 1864.

[2] The house was constructed with red brick on a raised foundation featuring a projecting central portico entrance supported with doric columns.

[3] In the early 2000s, the Michigan Alpha chapter spent approximately $500,000 to completely renovate the house and restore its historic integrity.

[4] Elements of the interior finish were modified following major fires in the early 1970s and building code upgrades during the recent renovation; however, most of the original floor plan remains unchanged.
