The lovely Shankland House, home of the Andronicus Chapter of Alpha Rho Chi Fraternity of USC, in University Park (since 1922). 

Built in 1896, and known and appreciated for its Colonial Revival style, this LA Historic-Cultural Monument was designed by architect Sumner P. Hunt, and originally built for James H. Shankland, a prominent Los Angeles attorney

The house has been preserved by the student chapters and the S.A.R.C.H. Alumni Association.

Alpha Rho Chi (APX) is the nation's only co-ed professional and social fraternity dedicated strictly to architecture and the allied arts.The fraternity's name originates from the first three letters of the Greek word for architecture (ἀρχιτεκτονική). Its national motto is Fidelitas, Amor et Artes ("Fidelity and Love of the Arts"). 

Rooted heavily in Architecture, membership expands across all Allied Arts, including interior design, landscape architecture, civil engineering, construction management, urban planning, and digital design fields.

It bridges the gap between a social fraternity (housing, lifelong friendships, social events) and a professional society (networking, professional development, corporate mentorship).

I really admire this place, and I'm grateful that it's being lovingly protected and recognized as being an important Los Angeles structure.
