Julia studied chemistry at Oberlin College. Working in a woodshed behind their family home at 64 East College Street in Oberlin OH, Julia and her brother Charles Martin Hall discovered a method to electrolytically extract aluminum from alumina in February 1886. Her brother received a patent for the process and founded what later became the Aluminum Company of America, now Alcoa.
