    Oldest building on the campus - built in 1756. For a brief period from July to October of 1783, this place served a host for US government. Beautiful ivy clad building is huge and is fondly referred to as Old Nassau by Princetonians.

    Nassau Hall is an absolutely beautiful welcoming to the Princeton campus. The architecture and setting of Nassau is unparalleled compared to other universities I've visited. Get a coffee at Small World Coffee and enjoy the walk over to Nassau Hall as soon as you can.

    I can not express or share enough pictures to explain how beautiful this building is and the tigers. It college campus is just gorgeous. If you are in New Jersey, definitely stop thru Princeton and walk the campus and the town. It is just absolutely breathtaking. The history and architecture are remarkable.

    Beautiful and majestic building. This is the heart of Princeton. The oldest building on campus and at the time one of the largest in the country. Briefly served as the meeting place of Congress.

    Living in New Jersey provides unique opportunities to engage with history. I had no idea the US Capitol was here, even for a few months. An explanation of the Ivy plaques around the building would be appreciated. I will happily improve this ranking with the ability to enter the building.

    Beautiful building that once was the site of a heated battle between the British regulars and the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War. Alexander Hamilton’s artillery team is supposed to have fired on the building and beheaded a statue of King George. Found this and the house that Alexander Hamilton lived in when he resided in Princeton while it was the nation’s capital on a free walking tour app from free walking tours presents.
