The Nassau Club of Princeton, New Jersey, founded in 1889 by, among others, Woodrow Wilson as a town-and-gown club to bring the townspeople and the University faculty together, is now a private social club.[1] It moved into its current location in 1903. The clubhouse was originally built in 1813-14 as the home of Samuel Miller, the second professor of the Princeton Theological Seminary, on land belonging to his father-in-law, Continental Congressman Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant. Sergeant had built a large house on the site shortly before the American Revolution but it was burned down during the British occupation prior to the Battle of Princeton.[3]
The club provides dining and social spaces, as well as guest rooms for visiting members. Originally formed as a men's club, it has allowed both male and female members for several decades. The clubhouse was expanded in 1911, by architect Aymar Embury II,[4] and in 1969 a banquet dining room was added, with extensive renovations in 1992.[5]
In popular culture, the Nassau Club was referenced in the lyrics of the 1981 hit song The American by Scottish rock group Simple Minds.
