The Many Unique Features of Veblen House -- a 1930 Prefab

Below are compiled writings and photos of the many special features of the Veblen House--a prefab of unusual construction and style that was moved from Morristown, NJ to Princeton in 1930 by the Whiton-Stuarts, then bought and augmented by the Veblens in 1941. It was bequeathed to Mercer County in 1974, to be added to Herrontown Woods. In 2017, the Friends of Herrontown Woods fought off demolition, facilitated safe transfer of ownership to Princeton municipality, and now lease the House with the goal of rehabilitation as a place for meetings, small concerts, talks, museum exhibits, and nature learning.
