The Alpha Rho Chi Fraternity House is a residence building for an architecture-focused brotherhood at the University of Illinois in Champaign, constructed with French and English architectural influences. The structure features an L-shaped layout with a distinctive corner tower, steep tiled roofs, and an arched entryway beneath the tower.
The building was completed in 1928, following the establishment of a student group that formed in 1911 and became Alpha Rho Chi fraternity in 1914. This brotherhood was a pioneer in advancing architectural education at the college level.
The house serves as a gathering place for architecture students and conveys the spirit of a community devoted to discussing design and building. The spaces reflect this passion and create a place where like-minded people connect.
The building is located near campus and is easy to spot from the street thanks to its distinctive tower and brick design. The best views of the architectural details can be seen from the sidewalk, where the ornamentation and shape are clearly visible.
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, recognizing its role in advancing architectural education. This designation highlights how the house shaped the development of the discipline at a major university.
