English: Built in 1904, this Classical Revival-style house features a red brick exterior, a hipped roof with bracketed eaves, three hipped dormers with decorative windows, a three-bay front facade, stone lintels and sills, a two-story bay window on the north facade, doorways with sidelights and transoms in the center bay, a porch with square columns, a cornice with dentils, hipped roof, rough-hewn stone porch railings, a second-story balcony with decorative balustrade above the center of the porch, a porte cohere on the south side of the house, and quoins at the corners of the front facade. The house served as the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house from 1932 until 1962, when it moved to the old fraternity quad on campus, and was later purchased by Centre College in 1979, being dedicated as the Carroll C. Chenault Jr. Alumni House in 1982 after Centre College alumnus Carroll C. Chenault, Jr. (1898-1973), whom graduated from Centre College in 1920, and was a successful farmer. Upon the death of his wife, Doris Chenault, in 1983, his farm was donated to the college, and was valued at $2.5 million dollars, the largest single donation to the college up to that point, being managed by the college and later sold with proceeds going to improve the programs and facilities at the college. The house serves as Centre College’s alumni center, with administrative offices and a small events center being located inside. The house is a contributing structure in the Maple Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
