  • Joseph Henry's House and Campus Plan

    Joseph Henry's House and Campus Plan

    Joseph Henry’s House and Campus Plan Ezra Y. S. Tjung, Daniel Kaufmann, Michael G. Littman Abstract Joseph Henry is sometimes credited with the design of the Joseph Henry House, a registered National Historic Landmark on the Princeton University Campus. Joseph Henry was Professor of Natural Philosophy and Mathematics at Princeton College at the beginning of the 19th century. He also taught Architecture and Geology, and had worked earlier in the State of New York as a surveyor. We set out to verify that Joseph Henry was responsible for the design of the House that bears his name, and found to our surprise that it is unlikely that he designed it. Our conclusion is based on a review of many financial documents and other records of the College, published and unpublished papers and letters of Joseph Henry, and a diary of a key member of the College Building Committee. We have established that Ezekial Howell, a local mason, was the principal builder of the House. We have also determined that Charles Steadman, a local carpenter and builder, was responsible for drawings of the House. While it is possible that Steadman as draftsman was following Henry’s specifications, we find that this is unlikely given that the House constructed in 1838 is so similar to many others built by Steadman in the Princeton area. Prof. Henry did make his own drawing of a house and submitted it to the Building Committee, but his design is not at all like the design of the house that was built. That withstanding, Joseph Henry did select the location of the House as well as that of several other early buildings as part of his influential Campus Plan.
