Description |
Vandeventer Pond and the Beatty House, 19 Vandeventer Avenue. Originally located on Nassau Street, Beatty House was the home of the Hudibras Tavern proprietor, Jacob Hyer, who is thought to have built the house in 1780. In 1816 the house was purchased by Colonel Erkuries Beatty. After Beatty's death in 1823, the building housed Miss Hanna's Boarding School for young women. James Vandeventer, merchant and longtime Princeton resident, purchased the house and moved it to its present location in 1875. |
