About Princeton's Princeton Borough

The University of Princeton Chapel is the third largest college chapel in the world and the University's largest indoor facility.

The Chapel is non-secretarian and holds weekly denominational and nondenominational services. Along with the religious use it also hosts non-religious ceremonies including Opening Exercises and services for commencement. The chapel seats approximately 2000 and is 270 foot long.

The oak pews are wood from Civil war times. The stained glass collection is the most valuable in the western hemisphere and when renovated in 2002, was sent to France for cleaning and restoration.

The architecture through out the campus of Princeton University is mostly Gothic. In keeping with the gothic architecture style, which Princeton is famous, the chief architect was Ralph Adams Cram who specialized in Gothic Revival Architecture.

This structure is truly a feast for the eyes with the ornate carvings, stained glass and wood worked pews. The Chapel is a "must see" when touring Princeton Borough and the University.

Welcome Students is popping up all around Princeton lately. The Class of 2012 is coming to campus. Registration day is August 30^th, but a lot of students and families are seen touring the 500-acre Princeton University Campus.

Princeton is rich in history with traditions and lore and has been hailed by generations of Princetonians as "the best old place of all".

Princeton was the very first college to call her campus a "campus".

On a beautiful, crisp summer day I decided to take a stroll thru the University grounds and take in the beauty of the Princeton University Campus

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.
