====== St. Anthony Hall ======

[{{:stanthonyhall.jpg?300 |St. Anthony Hall. Photo credit: Josh Spiro}}]Built in 1878, St. Anthony Hall is the house of the Epsilon Chapter of [[fraternities|Delta Psi]] fraternity at Trinity College. 

Located at 340 Summit Street in the [[gallows_hill|Gallows Hill]] section of campus on Summit Street, the building was designed by [[cady_josiah_cleaveland|Josiah Cleaveland Cady]] of New York after [[burges_william|William Burges]]' London residence (which Burges designed himself). 

Undergraduates organized the Epsilon chapter of Delta Psi (also called St. Anthony Hall) in 1850. The chapter used rented space in downtown [[hartford|Hartford]] until 1878, when St. Anthony Hall was built. 

The creation of a chapter house for Delta Psi started a trend amongst other student societies. [[fraternities|I.K.A.]] followed with St. Elmo's Hall in 1882; Beta Beta in 1884; and then again, when [[fraternities|Psi Upsilon]] created a house in 1902. 

St. Anthony Hall has obtained 'national landmark' status and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985.
