The Tudor Arms Apartments is a historic apartment home in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Located in the Roland Park Historic District, and near Wyman Park, the North building was constructed in 1912 and the South building in 1922. Tudor Arms became a housing cooperative in 1947.

History and design
The five-story apartment was completed in 1912, at a cost of $200,000, under the name "Tudor Hall Apartments," at the intersection of University Parkway and Wyman Park, and was purchased from land owned by the Roland Park Company. Previously, Biddy Rice's Saloon, a popular tavern, operated on the site, in the late 19th century. Two renowned Baltimore architects, Edward Hughes Glidden and Clyde Nelson Friz, worked on the building's architecture. This included giving Tudor Hall terra cotta trimmings on top of brick and stone in the Tudor Revival style. In 1922, a second "annex" building, called Essex Arms, was built, and connected to Tudor Hall. Friz and Glidden again partnered as architects on the building.

The building's landlord, Guilford Realty Company, raised rents, in November 1946, with Office of Price Administration providing relief to tenants. In May 1947, the apartment was purchased by Nora and Ralph Quillen, and Marie Codd, with plans to make the building, which contained 48 units at the time, into a housing cooperative. In October 1947, apartment became a housing cooperative.

The Court of Appeals of Maryland ruled, in the case of Tudor Arms Apartments v. Shaffer, in November 1948, in favor of the cooperative, and against tenants who had month-to-month leases with the Guilford Realty Company. The court noted previous precedent that those who purchase apartments under cooperative plans "are to be treated as landlords or owners", reversing the decision by Baltimore City Circuit Court No. 2 in January 1948. The holding that lessees of cooperative apartments were owners for an indefinite period during "good behaviour", was later described as limited to the specific holding of this case. However, the case was relied upon as precedent by the Appellate Court of Illinois, First District, in June 1949, and the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, in April 1975.

In response to Maryland House Bill 107, which went into effect in October 2022, the cooperative raised fees by 12 percent, with special assessments slated to be "$300 per room," for residents of each of the 49 units in the apartment house, to pay for an expanded reserve study, with a recommended contribution of "$233,100 into the fund each year for the next 10 years."
