Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity House
Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity House, Colonial Revival fraternity house in West University neighborhood, Reno, United States.
The red brick Alpha Tau Omega house features three stories with gabled dormers, columns, and stands on a hill near University Terrace Avenue.
Built in 1929 for $32,000, this structure became the first fraternity-constructed house at the University of Nevada, designed by architect Lehman Ferris.
The fraternity house transformed into a residence and dining hall for female students during World War II, adapting to changing social needs.
Located at 205 University Terrace, the building underwent substantial renovations in 1988 following a temporary closure due to fire safety concerns.
The cornerstone placement occurred on April 30, 1929, with the house dedicated to Alpha Tau Omega founder Erskine Mayo Ross.
