Westland Mansion, Former presidential residence in Princeton, United States
The stone mansion, covered in yellow stucco, features twin parlors, marble mantelpieces, high ceilings and multiple spacious rooms across two and a half stories.
Constructed in 1856 by Commodore Robert F. Stockton, this residence later became the retirement home of President Grover Cleveland from 1897 until 1908.
Students from Princeton University regularly conducted victory parades to this house and performed birthday serenades for President Cleveland during his retirement years.
The 6,345-square-foot private residence contains six bedrooms, five bathrooms, formal entry halls, and dining rooms with preserved historical architectural elements.
Cleveland added a two-story extension specifically to include a billiard room, where he regularly hosted card games with the local Poverty Club members.
