Part of The Growth of Nassau Street.

Originally located at 200 Nassau Street, this was once a residence of Captain James Moore of the civilian militia force in Princeton. Moore owned a number of houses in the area, including another on Nassau Street complete with a tan-yard. During the Battle of Princeton, it is said, he was the first to enter Nassau Hall as the American soldiers forced out the British. In 1785, this property belonged to Robert Stockton, who sold it to his son, Dr. Ebenezer Stockton. Dr. Stockton then purchased Bainbridge House in 1799, selling this place to lawyer Thomas Potts. Potts was a skilled French speaker, and he befriended a number of immigrants fleeing the French Revolution who settled in the area.

Original Sections: the small western wing of the original house was demolished when the house was moved from 200 Nassau Street

Present Use: E.Y. Staats and Co. Haircutters
