Summit Terrace
In 1919, after dropping out of Princeton University and serving in the army, this young 23-year-old returned to his parents' rented townhouse at 599 Summit Avenue.
The Romanesque Revival townhouse structure is complete with turrets, small balconies, and slate roof containing eight units for single-family occupancy. Little could architects Clarence Johnston and William Willcox have dreamed the brownstone row house they designed in 1889 would gain such popularity.
The current owners, Mike and Nancy Jones, say passersby have even tried to peek in the front windows. The structure still slows traffic as curious tourists stop to determine exactly which unit
F. Scott Fitzgerald lived in.
