Narrative Description The Delta Upsilon Fraternity House is a two-and-one-half-story, basically rectangular, side-gable, Arts-and-Crafts-influenced, Tudor Revival building clad in brick in the first story and stucco in the second, with half-timbered and shingled accents. The balanced, south-facing front has a shallow E-shaped plan, with a slightly projecting, front-gable wing at each end of the facade and a narrow, three-story, front-gable projection marking the center of the facade. The center of the facade between the wings displays a recessed portico supported by four round columns. The central front-gable section has casement windows at the attic story, vergeboards with applique detailing, and half-timbering in the upper stories. The facade features casement and double-hung windows grouped in units of two, three, and four. Shed dormers containing paired casement windows pierce the slate-clad roof.
Statement of Significance The Delta Upsilon Fraternity House is the oldest residential fraternity/sorority house building at the University of Michigan still occupied by the organization which constructed it. The house is an early example of the residential-scale work of Detroit architect Albert Kahn.
