NASSAU HALL, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, PRINCETON,
N. J.-Completed in 1756, Nassau Hall served at dif-
ferent times as a barracks and hospital for Continental
and British troops. It was the scene of the last stand of
the British in the Battle of Princeton. In 1776 the first
Legislature of the State of New Jersey convened in it.
From June to November, 1783, the Continental Congress
sat there, thanked Washington in person for his conduct
of the war, and received news that the Treaty of Peace
had been signed. The names of Princeton's war dead
from the Revolution onward are inscribed on the marble
walls of the Atrium in the center of the building.
