The Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania purchased the former home of John Lindner at 28 North College Street in 1923. Three years later the exterior of the building was renovated: a colonial-style doorway was added and the old wooden steps were replaced by brick ones and a piazza. The fraternity then called in a professional architect to remodel the interior of the house in 1927, which resulted in the addition of an Italian marble fireplace.

The fraternity disbanded briefly from 1943 until 1946, during which time the building was rented out to the College.  The members resurrected the fraternity following the war and once again occupied the house in 1946 until the building was bought by the College and razed in 1963 to make room for the Holland Union Building. Phi Kappa Sigma members then moved into Quad 8 (now Armstrong Hall) of the Fraternity Quadrangle.
