Donald Grant Herring Estate, Tudor Revival villa in Princeton, United States
The Donald Grant Herring Estate is a residential villa in Tudor Revival style located in Princeton, featuring steeply pitched roofs and decorative half-timbered facades. The property comprises three separate structures positioned along Arreton Road with handcrafted architectural elements throughout.
Wilson Eyre Jr. designed the Donald Grant Herring Estate, called Rothers Barrows, in 1919 for Donald Herring, a Princeton University faculty member. The 117-acre estate was subdivided in 1949, leaving three properties at 52, 72 and 75-77 Arreton Road. It is the last, chronologically, of the estates that once ringed Princeton.
The estate reflects the handcrafted building practices valued in early 20th century residential design. Walking through the grounds, you notice how local materials and careful construction details shaped the property's character.
The estate sits along Arreton Road with multiple structures distributed across the property. The layout and road position allow visitors to view the separate buildings and their architectural features from the surrounding area.
In 2016 the surviving estate was listed for sale at $3.8 million. The three remaining properties stand at 52, 72 and 75-77 Arreton Road, the remnants of a 117-acre estate subdivided in 1949.
