President's House, Georgian university residence in Princeton, United States.
The President's House features a symmetrical design with red brick walls, white trim details, and large windows arranged in a balanced pattern across its facade.
Built in 1756 as the residence for the College of New Jersey president, the house later accommodated George Washington during the Battle of Princeton in 1777.
The building represents early American academic architecture and maintains connections to several prominent educational figures from the colonial period through modern times.
The President's House currently functions as the headquarters of Princeton University's Alumni Association, containing offices and meeting spaces for university activities.
Five of the early presidents who lived in this house between 1756 and 1822 owned enslaved individuals who worked within these very walls.
