This painting is of a gothic style home called Priory Court on Egerstoune Road. This amazing estate was chosen for one of the Junior League of Greater Princeton's designer showhouse and gardens. Albert Einstein was known to visit often and play his violin there.
From the Junior League of Princeton: Priory Court was designed in 1933 by renowned architect, Alfred Hopkins. Hopkins was known as an estate architect who specialized in country houses and farms. He had a long list of well to do clients, including the highly discriminating Louis Comfort Tiffany, but it turns out his most difficult client to please was indeed himself: he spent over 20 years searching for the perfect location to build his own estate, the stunning Priory Court! The attention to detail, quality of craftsmanship and old-world feel are extraordinary. We have it on good authority that Albert Einstein loved the music wing so much that he logged countless hours playing his violin there.
