Additional Details:
Since 1878 "Prospect," a stately stone house with extensive rear gardens, has been the official residence of the President of Princeton University. It was built in 1849 on the site of an eighteenth century farmhouse owned by Col. George Morgan, whose scientific farming brought him into association with Washington and Franklin. Many official receptions have been held in the gardens which are at their loveliest in June.
