Description |
A building known as the "Incubator" for its role as the first home of many Princeton University eating clubs, c. 1911. The building was originally constructed in 1892 by the Cap & Gown Club on their site on the south side of Prospect Avenue. Three years later, this building was moved across the street near the corner of Olden Street and Prospect Avenue, to make room for a larger Cap and Gown building. In its Olden Street location, it was used by the football teams to dress for games across the street at University Field. Cannon, Campus, Charter, Terrace, and Tower clubs all started in this building in its Olden Street location. |
