Features reflecting Gothic stylistic influences here are the strong vertical lines, the castle-like turret, high-pitched roofs, and asymmetrical silhouette. Elements inspired more specifically by the Romanesque Revival style are the rough brownstone trim, large round arched openings, the main entrance archway flanked by engaged columns, and the use of heavy brick corbelling and carved terra cotta relief work.

This building is two stories high, three bays wide, and five bays deep. It measures 40 x 70 feet. Built on a generally rectangular plan, it is of pressed red brick trimmed with Longmeadow brownstone and is covered with a hip roof of dark Maine slate.

Princeton is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. It is bordered on the east by Sterling and Leominster, on the north by Westminster, on the northwest by Hubbardston, on the southwest by Rutland, and on the southeast by Holden. The preeminent landmark within Princeton is Mount Wachusett, which straddles the line between Princeton and Westminster but the entrance to which is within Princeton. According to tradition, in 1675, Mary Rowlandson was ransomed upon Redemption Rock, now within the town of Princeton, by King Philip. The population was 3,413 at the 2010 census. Princeton is a rural exurb, serving as a bedroom commuter town for nearby cities such as Worcester, Gardner, and Boston.
