Cranford Apartment Building is a historic building located in the Campustown section of Ames, Iowa, United States. The 4½-story brick structure was completed in 1922 as a residence for single women who were on the faculty at Iowa State College as well as other professional women. Prior to this building's completion, female faculty members often had a difficult time finding a place to live in Ames.[2] Its construction was funded by the Faculty Women's Housing Company. The building was designed by Alda Wilson, who earned a bachelor's degree from Iowa State. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.[1]
