Located on the shores of Lake Mendota, the house offers direct beach access, a private pier, and is even home to Lilly's on the Lake.
Completed in 1925 with a 1950 addition, this distinguished Colonial Revival / Georgian Revival style building was designed by the prominent firms Livermore and Samuelson and Law, Law & Potter.

Phi Gamma Delta: 16 Langdon
Nestled into the hillside of Lake Mendota, the Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) house at 16 Langdon is a masterpiece of design.

It's a truly stunning house that provides an exceptional living experience.

With a perfect blend of historic charm and traditional fraternity feel, Chi Phi at 200 Langdon is a standout. The mansion's massive banquet room, with its interior balcony and striking woodwork, showcases the building's natural beauty. It's a place where tradition and community thrive, and a house where the Kappa Chapter of Chi Phi has a deep and enduring history.
