Phi Gam's Will Have Unusual Frat Build
Lloyd Wright Designer of New House On Langdon
The Daily Cardinal,
If the plans of the Phi Gamma Delta
fraternity are carried out, the U. of W. chap-
ter of the organization will soon have the
most unique of all of the greek letter houses.
Pending the sale of their famous old
colonial house on 501 N. Henry St., the
fraternity proposes to build anew on the site
at present occupied by the residence of C.R.
Carpenter, 16 Langdon St.
It is said that the new building will cost
approxomately $80,000. Plans have been
prepared by Frank Lloyd Wright, Wiscon-
sin architect of international fame. The
