An Earlier Era of ‘185’

Two alumni wrote letters in the Oct. 23 issue mentioning how they went to 185 Nassau Street when it was the Nassau Street Elementary School. However, before the current Princeton High School on Moore Street was built in 1929, my father, Mortimer Feldman ’29, attended 185 Nassau Street when it was the old Princeton High School.

Editor’s note: Feldman also provided information from the Historical Society of Princeton, which included the following. “In 1898, Princeton High School was started in the Model School [at 185 Nassau St.] with four 9th grade students. … A new junior and senior high school building was designed in 1927 for a new campus location at 151 Moore Street.”
