1110 West Nevada Street

Georgian Revival architectural style

The Omicron Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta was the fifteenth chapter of the sorority founded, but it was the only chapter with the distinction of having one of the original founders of the sorority, Mrs. Frances Haven Moss, as its founder.  This occurred in 1913.  WWI precluded new construction, so the sorority purchased an existing duplex at 1110 West Nevada in 1918 for their chapter house.  A building committee worked out plans with the Peoria architectural firm of Hewitt, Emerson and Gregg during 1926 for the remodeling of the house and, when completed, the original vernacular Four Square duplex had been enlarged and altered to become the elegant Georgian Revival building of today.  Additions were added to the building in 1951 and 1983.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1994 for significance in Education (#94001270; part of Fraternity and Sorority Houses at the Urbana-Champaign Campus of the University of Illinois Multiple Property nomination).  Also known as Omicron Chapter of Gamma Phi Beta.
