Historic Fraternity House Burns at U. of Michigan
The Delta Upsilon house was designed by Albert Kahn.
Fire destroyed a historic 1903 fraternity house at the University of Michigan this morning, The Ann Arbor News reported. No one was injured in the fast-moving blaze.
The Tudor-revival house, built and still occupied by Delta Upsilon, was designed by the noted architect Albert Kahn early in his career. Kahn went on to plan factories, office buildings, and homes for clients like Edsel Ford.
The Delta Upsilon house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.
