As an historic landmark in Brush Park, the Alpha House—the longest continually owned and occupied fraternity house of any Alpha Phi Alpha chapter—is set to undergo restoration after the Detroit City Council approved $200,000 in pandemic relief funding for the Gamma Lambda Chapter. The funding will address structural and system needs in the 100-year-old building, which was purchased by the fraternity in 1939 and holds significant importance as a former safe haven during the 1943 and 1967 riots, as well as a critical organizing space for community leaders fighting inequities in housing, employment, and education when few other public or private venues were available to them.
