Walter Lowrie House, Official residence in Princeton, New Jersey, US.

The Walter Lowrie House is a mansion at 83 Stockton Street in Princeton, New Jersey, built in 1845 by architect John Notman for John P. Stockton. It is an Italianate revival building, a style Notman popularized in the United States, and it stands off the Princeton University campus, serving as the official residence of the university's president.

The house was built in 1845 by architect John Notman for John P. Stockton, son of Commodore Robert F. Stockton, who later served as a New Jersey senator and ambassador to Italy. Barbara Armour Lowrie donated the property to Princeton University in memory of her husband Walter Lowrie, transforming it into the president's official residence.

The house is named for Walter Lowrie, an Episcopal rector of St Paul's Within the Walls in Rome and a translator of Kierkegaard, who spent his retirement here; his wife Barbara donated it to Princeton in 1959. It sits off campus at 83 Stockton Street, and the gate faces Edgehill Street, where the 17th-century "Barracks" stands at number 32.

The house stands at 83 Stockton Street, off the Princeton University campus, so it is reached from the public street rather than through campus grounds. The gate to the property faces Edgehill Street, where the 17th-century building known as the Barracks stands at number 32. It is a private residence for the university president, not a building open to visitors.

The house stands off campus grounds, which is why Princeton moved its presidential residence here from Prospect House in 1968; Prospect House then became a faculty club. Its gate faces Edgehill Street, where the 17th-century "Barracks" at number 32, linked to the Stockton family, once served as a barracks in the French and Indian War or the American Revolution.
