From the NRHP submission form:

Located in the West University neighborhood of Eugene, Oregon, the Alpha Phi sorority house is an excellent example of Twentieth century Norman farmhouse architecture. It was designed by the office of Lawrence and Holford, Architects, in November 1923 and constructed between December 1923 and June 1924 by Hoover and McNeil general contractors of Albany, Oregon. The chief designer was Ellis Lawrence who entered this house design in the 1929 Oregon AIA exhibit in Portland. The house is two and one-half stories with a full daylight basement and is clad in stucco on the first story and wood bevel siding on the second story. A 1957 addition extended the southern portion of the house to include apartments for the "House Mother" a t.v. room and office space on the first floor and additional living space and the second and third floors. The principle (east) elevation faces onto Hilyard Street while the north elevation abuts the millrace. The interior is representative of Ellis Lawrence's focus on high quality craftsmanship and detail.

A detailed description of the interior and the exterior of the Alpha Phi Sorority House can be found in the NRHP submission form.
