Regarding Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity House. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
Established in 1899, Sigma Alpha Epsilon is one of the oldest fraternities at the University of Illinois. Its chapter house, designed by Dean and Dean, and constructed by prominent local builder A. W. Stoolman in 1907 at a cost of $25,000, is among the earliest structures built at the University of Illinois as a fraternity house and is one of a small number of fraternities and sororities at the University of Illinois campus to have been the sole occupant of a particular house.
