Homewood Campus Tour

The University purchased the Cambridge Arms Apartments in April 1966. Built in the 1920s, the apartments served as the home of F. Scott Fitzgerald for several years in the mid-1930s. In May 1966 the building was named Wolman Hall in honor of Professor Abel Wolman (AB 1913, BSE 1915, Professor of Sanitary Engineering 1921-89) who developed the formula used in chlorinating water supplies. Wolman served as an adviser on water matters to the governments of some 50 countries, and designed the water systems of many American cities, including Baltimore and New York. The University renovated Wolman Hall in 1990-91, increasing the building's capacity from 220 students to nearly 500.
