Westland Mansion, Former presidential residence in Princeton, United States
Westland Mansion is a stone house in Princeton with yellow stucco covering and two and a half stories of living space. The rooms feature high ceilings, marble mantelpieces, and paired parlors with original architectural details.
Commodore Robert F. Stockton built the house in 1856 as a grand residence for the area. It later became the retirement home of President Grover Cleveland, who lived there from 1897 through 1908.
The house became a gathering place during Cleveland's time there, with university students regularly visiting to celebrate and perform for the former president. This shows how the residence connected to the life of the surrounding community.
The house is accessible from the main entrance, with multiple rooms arranged over its levels that visitors can tour. Plan enough time to see each room and observe the preserved architectural and interior details throughout.
Cleveland added a two-story wing specifically to house a billiard room that became central to his social life. This space hosted regular card games and gatherings with local business members and friends.
