This fraternity occupied one of the Webster houses on No. Main St. from 1895 until 1902, when it bought another house on the same street near the Orono bridge. The present house was built in 1935 on the site of Mount Vernon House after fire destroyed their former residence. https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1047&context=univ_publications
