I was in Princeton a few years earlier, at that time to photograph the university as well as the (now private) home of President James Buchannan. I later learned that neither of the two houses I photographed then (it was confusing which one was right) was Buchannan's home. So I came back to photograph the correct house. And since I was here before I also learned that President Wilson lived in the main house on campus when he was president of the university. Thus, I needed to photograph that house, also for my collection of photographs of all homes and libraries and museums of all U.S. Presidents.

I drive into town and am immediately captivated by the look and feel of this town. The town itself has many beautiful old large homes nestled among the trees and bushes along tree-lined streets. And the campus buildings are absolutely gorgeous -- that old-style architecture. And The Prospect House where the university president lives -- at least Woodrow Wilson lived there when he was university president, is a large mansion secluded from the rest of the campus by large trees and spectacular gardens. Wow! It would be fun to live in this town.
