-'''Havemeyer Hall''' is the home of the [[Chemistry Department]]. It was the vision of chemist [[Charles Frederick Chandler]], and was funded by his friend Theodore Havemeyer ([[School of Mines]] Class of [[1868]]) in honor of his father, Frederick Christian Havemeyer CC [[1825]]. The latter's cousin, [[William Frederick Havemeyer]] CC [[1823]], served as Mayor of New York three times over the course of the 19th century. The prominent family made its fortune in the sugar industry. The building was built in [[1897]] to a design by [[McKim, Mead, and White]].

 Research done here has led to seven [[Nobel Prize]]s. The first was awarded in [[1934]] to [[Harold Clayton Urey]], whose research in Havemeyer led to the discovery of deuterium in [[1931]]. Urey's old office (622) is occupied by Professor [[Louis E. Brus]], the Samuel Latham Mitchell Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Chemical Engineering.

-The east end of Haveyemer's main corridor was once devoted to Chandler's Chemical Museum, which held every inorganic salt known at the time and a collection of more than 4000 organic compounds, 1000 of them first developed in Columbia laboratories, as well as vegetable, petroleum and essential oils; explosives dating back to the Civil War; tanning and fertilizer exhibits; resins, varnishes, and pigments; a comprehensive electrochemical exhibit; colloids; a collection showing the history of ceramic arts; a set of early-19th century apothecary jars; a collection of the earliest photographs; and an exhibit of "rare earths". There was also a set of pre-World War I German dyes. The Chandler Museum collection was the only one available for use by the U.S. government for standards after German dye patents were confiscated during the war. Much of the content of the museum survives, though only a small portion is on display in Havemeyer's corridors.
