The house pictured here was the fraternity's second,
a magnificent stone structure built in 1889, designed by Carrere and Hastings, a structure
that "set a new standard of costliness in Amherst" (King, 150). It was torn down only
38 years later in the building craze that swept Amherst's rival fraternities in the
1910s and 1920s. |
