Additional Information: | "Madison architects Harold Balch and Grover Lipert, who practiced together during the 1920s, designed this elegant Georgian revival sorority house. The design differs from other Georgian revival houses that emphasized classically-decorated projecting entry pavilions. It is larger than other Georgian revival designs and features projecting symmetrical wings, a parapet roof defined by a prominent cornice, stone corner quions, arched windows with keystones, and elaborate third story front facade window hoods. Alpha Gamma Delta has been a sorority at the University of Wisconsin since 1905." City of Madison, The Langdon Street Historic District: A Walking Tour, 1986. dormitory |
