Part of Jugtown.

A beam in the basement marked “1730” identifies this as one of the earliest Queenstown houses still standing. For much of the century, this house belonged to various members of the Scott family. John Scott and two of his sons, Richard and Samuel, were local masons responsible for much of early Princeton’s stonework. During the Revolutionary War, this building housed at different times both British and American troops. It was also very likely rented out to members of the Continental Congress when they stayed in 1783.
