Delta Psi, Alpha Chapter building, Fraternity house in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, United States

The Delta Psi, Alpha Chapter building at 434 Riverside Drive features Beaux Arts and French Renaissance revival styles with white Indiana limestone foundation and red brick walls.

In 1897, the Alpha chapter purchased land on Riverside Drive to construct a new fraternity house closer to Columbia University's relocated campus in Morningside Heights.

The fraternity house includes multiple gathering spaces such as parlors, ballroom, billiard room, study areas, and dining room for social and academic activities.

The five-story structure provides residential accommodations for Columbia University fraternity members with direct access to campus facilities and Hudson River views.

The building's marble fireplace displays decorative owls and shields, while its grand ballroom chandelier gained recognition through its appearance on Vampire Weekend's album cover.
