The Delta Psi, Alpha Chapter fraternity house is located at 434 Riverside Drive in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.[2][3] It was purpose built in 1898 and continues to serve the Columbia chapter of the Fraternity of Delta Psi (aka St. Anthony Hall), a social and literary fraternity.[4][5][3]

The chapter house was designed by two prominent New York City architects, Henry Hornbostel and George Carnegie Palmer.[5][2] At this time of its construction, the press described it as "the best appointed and most costly [fraternity] building that has ever been erected in the United States".[6]

For its architectural significance, the Delta Psi, Alpha Chapter building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 26, 1996.[2]
