    nudecowboy: thank you for making the connection between these two images of Taft at the dedication of the Cleveland Tower at Princeton University in 1913. We will update the descriptions of the images.

Cleveland Memorial Tower (LOC)

  • Wystan said:
    Designed by the Architect Ralph Adams Cram, a specialist in the Gothic Revival, the Cleveland Memorial Tower at Princeton University was built in 1911-1913, after the death of former President Grover Cleveland, whom it memorializes. Cleveland had been a resident of Princeton, New Jersey, from 1897, the end of his second term as President, until his death in 1908. He also served as a Trustee of Princeton University. The bells of the carrillon were not added until 1927 -- a gift of the Princeton Class of 1892. The tower was dedicated in a ceremony on October 22, 1913, at which former President William Howard Taft was the principal speaker.
