Delta Upsilon Fraternity House, Fraternity house at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States.
The Delta Upsilon Fraternity House is a residence for a student organization at the University of Michigan designed with Tudor Revival style. Its E-shaped layout features a brick base with decorative half-timbered stucco work on the upper level.
A prominent Detroit architect designed this residence in 1902 as the first Greek organization building in this section of Ann Arbor. This construction marked the beginning of fraternity establishments in the neighborhood.
The building displays English design elements adapted specifically for communal living, with a generous entrance hall and decorated fireplaces throughout. These features create spaces that serve both formal gatherings and everyday social functions.
The residence sits on a street in a quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance of campus. Following a major fire, the building underwent comprehensive restoration and is now well-maintained.
The house is the oldest fraternity residence in Ann Arbor still continuously occupied by its original organization. Its architecture represents a rare early non-industrial commission from a designer known primarily for factory buildings.
