Princeton Borough New Jersey's Historic Bank Street

Located in Princeton Borough between Bayard Lane and Chambers Street (behind our NATIONS Real Estate office) is Bank Street. I first discovered Bank Street when looking for a parking space and thought it was an alley. Much to my delight, I discovered a variety of Victorian Homes and un-metered parking spaces with a two hour time limit.

Bank Street is designated "Historic District Preservation" by the Princeton Borough Historic Preservation Office.

The homes on Bank Street were constructed in the late 19^th century as "modest residences". They are two story buildings, eleven total on the street. The homes are single and twins, featuring bay windows and wood sitting porches decorated with spindle valances. The exterior accents are also scalloped, diamond and fish scale. There are approximately eleven properties on the street, mostly all seasonally decorated for the holidays and now in the summer with plantings, flower boxes and decorative bird houses. The homes, sitting close to the street and each other are reminiscent of another time and place.
