White Oak wood windows, true divided light, with interior energy panels. True divided lights maintain a multifaceted living shimmer to the glass unlike the sterile look of modern monolithic SDL units. This light configuration also will never have a glass failure, so common to insulated glass. This is a sensible solution for historic institutional buildings.


The Princeton University 1879 Hall, was built in 1903-4. Unlike the other residential buildings of this period, it was constructed of brick instead of the stone. Benjamin W. Morris Jr., the architect, wrote, 1879 Hall was "so far from Blair and Little and the Gym that advantage has been taken...to change the materials as so give it a more individual character."

President Wilson, a member of the class that donated the building, used the large room over the arch as his office.
