| Additional Information: | F IN THE PHOTO CODES IS SHORT FOR FCS. This one-story Neoclassical building features a shaped parapet, full-arched windows on the side, and square brick pilasters. It also has a false shaped parapet above the brick building's front entrance. This is the only commercial/institutional Neoclassical building in Princeton, whose downtown is dominated by commercial Italianate and vernacular structures. This building is in good condition, although its windows and front door have been altered. Research into the history of the Princeton Water Works is needed. Previously surveyed in 1990. |
