[edit] History

Iris S. and Bert L.Wolstein Hall, constructed in 1910, was the home for Cleveland industralist Washington S. Tyler and his wife, Marian Clark Tyler. Then situated near the campus of Mather College, the home was near to Clark Hall, a facility dedicated to the contributions of the Clark family and its long association with Case Western Reserve University. Clark Tower and Tyler House also memorialize these families.

The building served as Tyler's residence until the 1950s. Subsequently, the house was home to two different Case fraternities - Phi Kappa Tau and Sigma Chi. Phi Kappa Tau occupied the building through the early 1970s and Sigma Chi until 1995. Case assumed control of the building thereafter, and it was assigned to the Weatherhead undergraduate management programs in 2001.
