A glimpse beyond the stately Sycamore trees revealsa classic Tudor built in a bygone era, the type one might spy while exploring the English countryside. Yet this is Cleveland Lane, near the heart of downtown Princeton and the University, and this home, elegant and graceful and redolent with history, is where Woodrow Wilson lived when elected President of the United States in 1912.

The grounds, which include a Japanese-inspired garden, gazebo and circular pool, were designed by Robert Zion, the renown landscape architect who helped create the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden at the Museum of Modern Art and Paley Park in New York. (Zion, who lived and worked in Monmouth County, died in 2000.)
