Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity House, Tudor Revival fraternity house in Greencastle, Indiana
The Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity House is a three-story Tudor Revival building with limestone walls, a hipped roof, and a three-bay protruding porch on the first floor. The H-shaped floor plan contains numerous bedrooms, common areas, and meeting spaces for residents.
Robert Frost Daggett, a noted Indiana architect, designed this Tudor Revival house, which was built in 1926. It was originally H-shaped and has since been enlarged. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 and stands within Greencastle's Eastern Enlargement Historic District.
The building serves today as housing and meeting place for fraternity members, shaping student life on campus through regular gatherings and events. The rooms reflect the daily rhythm of college life, from shared meals to casual meetings in common areas.
The house stands in Greencastle's Eastern Enlargement Historic District, the residential area east of the courthouse square and near DePauw University's campus. It is a private fraternity residence, so the interior is not open to the public; the limestone facade, hipped roof and three-bay porch are best seen from the street.
The house sits within Greencastle's Eastern Enlargement Historic District, a designation that came separately from its 1996 National Register listing. Its seven-bay facade and three-bay first-floor porch are both counted in bays, the repeating vertical units of the Tudor Revival front.
