TBT: Vintage Princeton Dorms

Ever wondered what your room would have looked like in the 19th century?!

'Tis the season for room draw!

Instead of engaging in some roommate drama with your dearest and nearest friends, check out what Spoon looked like in 1891.

That wallpaper though....Fire Safety was clearly way chiller in 1888.

This dorm is in East College(twin of West college, current home of East Pyne and mustached men in skinny jeans), home to two Butler brothers, two Pyne brothers, Charles Scribner, and many more.

Checking room draw times in 1950. Some things never change.
