Prospect House, National Historic Landmark villa in Princeton, United States
The Italianate sandstone mansion features a two-story structure with a three-story tower, broad eaves, and decorative brackets on the Princeton University campus.
Built in 1851 by architect John Notman, the house served as residence for Princeton University presidents, including Woodrow Wilson from 1902 to 1911.
The property includes five acres of landscaped grounds between Princeton University Art Museum and Washington Street, maintaining its original estate character.
The building functions as a faculty club for Princeton University, offering meeting spaces and dining facilities in the modern addition designed by Warren Platner.
The site previously hosted George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, before the construction of the current stone structure.
