Langdon Street, near the University of Wisconsin campus in Madison, is the site this drawing names for a fraternity house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Phi Gamma Delta. The title block gives the design its name, and the view shown is the building's exterior side. Dated 1925, it is a photographic print of an architectural drawing, and it comes from the Donald D. Walker collection. The record does not say the house was built, so the drawing is best read as a record of Wright's plan for a fraternity on a college street during the 1920s, when Greek letter houses were a growing part of campus life.
