Olin House may be the most prestigious UW building that nobody knows about. Tucked away just west of campus, it has housed the UW Chancellor since it was donated to the school in 1924.
It was the best money could buy when John Olin built it in 1911, but it needs major renovations. “One of our goals is to not only restore this house but bring it back to the time that it came from,” says UW Associate Chancellor Al Fish.
