Princeton University. Dept. of Buildings and Grounds.
The responsibility for supervising the construction and maintenance of new and existing buildings originally fell within the provenance of the financial officers of the College of New Jersey and the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees, which organized an ad hoc committee for each new project. It was not until 1865 that the Trustees created the Standing Committee on Real Estate to oversee the development of new structures on campus. This became the Committee on Grounds and Buildings in 1876. The chairpersons of that committee have been:
- Henry M. Alexander, 1876 - 1885
- M. Taylor Pyne, 1886 - 1897
- James W. Alexander, 1898 - 1900
- Cornelius C. Cuyler, 1901 - 1905
- Archibald D. Russell, 1906 - 1908
- Henry B. Thompson, 1909 - 1927
- Franklin D'Olier, 1928 - 1941
- Dean Mathey, 1942 - 1948
- Sandford Etherington, 1949 - 1950
- Henderson Supplee, 1951 - 1973
- Richard Hough, 1974 - 1988
- Thomas W. Langfitt, 1989 -
Within the administration, the position of Curator of Grounds and Buildings was separated from that of Treasurer in 1901. The incumbent of the office was James MacNaughton Thompson, who held that position from 1901 until 1904. He was succeeded by Henry Conrad Bunn (1904-1910) and Alfred Buelt Mullett Hoffman (1910 - 1912). In 1912, the title was changed to Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings.
