Description |
The Barracks, 32 Edgehill Street, in 1912. Built near the end of the 17th century. The earliest owners of the land included Daniel Brinson, whose deed is dated from 1685, and Richard Stockton, who purchased the land in 1696. Alexander Hamilton occupied this house, then owned by Thomas Laurens, when the Continental Congress met in Princeton in 1783. This photograph shows the house in 1912, after an addition and garden wall were added by J. Duncan Spaeth, a preceptor and professor of English at Princeton University. |
