Princeton Club, Historic clubhouse in Locust Street, Philadelphia, United States.
Description
The Princeton Club is a pair of connected buildings on Locust Street featuring Colonial Revival and Late Gothic Revival styles. The two structures were later joined together and now house a restaurant.
History
The organization was founded in 1868 and moved to these buildings in 1910, with structural connections made in later years. These additions in 1915 and 1919 created a larger unified space for the members.

The club served as a central gathering place for Princeton alumni, providing dedicated spaces for meetings and social functions according to its 1912 Yearbook.
