Editing Cope and Stewardson (section)

Princeton University's Gothic campus owes much to Cope and Stewardson's intervention, though the firm designed only a few buildings before the partners' deaths. Blair Hall (1897) and Little Hall (1899) established the Gothic character that subsequent architects would maintain. The Princeton buildings showed refinement of the approach developed at Penn, with even greater attention to English precedents and careful integration with the existing campus.<ref name="tatman"/>

The firm's Princeton work influenced the university's subsequent building program, which continued in Collegiate Gothic for decades under Ralph Adams Cram and other architects. The stylistic consistency that gives Princeton its distinctive character began with Cope and Stewardson's buildings, their design quality and institutional appropriateness setting standards that successors maintained. Princeton's commitment to Gothic architecture extended well into the twentieth century, creating one of America's most coherent collegiate environments.<ref name="cram"/>
