The Albin P. Dearing House, or A. P. Dearing House is located at 338 South Milledge Avenue, in Athens, Georgia.

Architecture[edit]

The A.P. Dearing House was built in 1858 for Eugenia Hamilton Dearing and Albin Pasteur Dearing;[1] they had purchased the property the prior year from University of Georgia trustees.[2] It is a two-story red brick house built in the Greek Revival style with a heroic Greek Doric porch with twelve stuccoed brick columns on three sides.[1][2] It uses "a four-over-four room, central hall plan".[3]

In 1938, the house was sold to Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.[1] They have added a three-story dormitory to the rear of the house.[3]
