The house was originally built in 1927 for the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity by Kansas architect Clarence E. Shepard (1869 - 1949.) Shepard was the premier architect of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School in Kansas City, although 146 was built in the Mediterranean Revival Style. At that time, this Spanish style of architecture was popular on the west coast, especially in Hollywood, but rare in the Midwest. Nottingham's tile roof is one of the more obvious features of Mediterranean Revival. Past owners include the fraternities Sigma Phi Epsilon (1927-1939) and Phi Sigma Delta (1940-1942), an all-girls dormitory called Shoreland House (1943-1951), and the fraternity Pi Lambda Phi (1952-1970). Having officially begun in February 1971, Nottingham celebrated its 35th year of cooperation in 2006.
