(‘nassau hall’ is the oldest building at “Princeton University” in “Princeton”, “Mercer County”, “New Jersey”, “United States”)
.
(at the time it was built in 1756, “Nassau Hall” was the largest building in colonial ‘New Jersey’ and the largest academic building in all the American colonies)
(the ‘University’, then known as the College of New Jersey, held classes for 1 year in ‘Elizabeth’ and 9 years in ‘Newark’ before the ‘Hall’ was completed in 1756)
(designed originally by ‘Robert Smith’, the building was subsequently remodeled by notable American architects ‘Benjamin Latrobe’ and ‘John Notman’)
(in the early years of ‘Princeton University’, ‘Nassau Hall’ accommodated classrooms, a library, a chapel, and residential space for students and faculty)
(it housed the university’s first “Department of Psychology”, for example)
(during the events of the “American Revolutionary War”, ‘Nassau Hall’ was possessed by both ‘British’ and ‘American’ forces and suffered considerable damage, especially during the ‘Battle of Princeton’ on ‘3 january 1777)
(from ‘July’ to ‘October 1783’, ‘Princeton’ was the capital of the early ‘United States’ and ‘Nassau Hall’ hosted the entire American government)
(the “Congress of the Confederation” met in the building’s library on the second floor)
(according to “Princeton University”, “Here Congress congratulated George Washington on his successful termination of the war, received the news of the signing of the definitive treaty of peace with Great Britain, and welcomed the first foreign minister—from the Netherlands—accredited to the ‘United States’)
(at present, ‘Nassau Hall’ houses Princeton University’s administrative offices, including that of the university’s president)
(“Old Nassau” refers affectionately(?) to the building and serves as a metonym for the university as a whole)
.
(the “United States Department of the Interior” designated “Nassau Hall” a “National Historic Landmark” in 1960, “signifying its importance in the ‘Revolutionary War and in the history of the ‘United States’)
