Rothman House

Previously known as 150 Elm, Rothman House was built in the late 1800s and became a property of Smith College at the school's founding. In 1917, it opened as a campus house, used as first-semester overflow housing for first-year students. Currently, Rothman House houses 12 Ada Comstock Scholars. The building is open for all breaks (including winter break) and summer break (with an additional fee).

In May 2024, Rothman House was named in honor of Eleanor Rothman, founding director of Smith’s Ada Comstock Scholars Program for nontraditional age students. Since the program was established in 1975, a total of 2,482 women ranging in age from their 20s to their mid-80s have earned Smith degrees as Ada Comstock Scholars. Rothman directed the program for 23 years.
