Category:Delta Gamma Sorority House (Madison, Wisconsin)

The Omega chapter of the Delta Gamma sorority at the University of Wisconsin was founded in 1881. The sorority house at 103 Langdon Street dates to 1926 and was designed in the Colonial or Georgian Revival style by the noted Madison architect Frank M. Riley. It is said to resemble a large Pennsylvania farmhouse,[1] and it features a gabled roof with a fieldstone exterior, six-over-six, eight-over-eight and twelve-over-twelve double-hung windows, gabled wall dormers, multiple chimneys, a shed-roof porch facing Langdon Street with square columns, and a one-story red-brick gabled ell on the rear of the building. The building is a contributing asset in the Langdon Street Historic District.
