- Colross abstract "Colross (also historically known as Belle Air and Grasshopper Hall) is a Georgian mansion that was formerly the center of an estate in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. Colross is currently the administration building for Princeton Day School in Princeton, New Jersey.The Colross property originally occupied the entire 1100 block of Oronoco Street. The property was originally developed as a plantation by Alexandria merchant John Potts, who began construction of the mansion in 1799-1800. In 1803, the property was purchased by Jonathan Swift, also an Alexandria merchant and a city councilman. Swift continued the mansion's construction during his ownership. Thomson Francis Mason (1785–1838), son of Thomson Mason (1759–1820) and grandson of Founding Father George Mason (1725–1792) of Gunston Hall, purchased Colross following Swift's death in 1824. Mason served as a judge of the Criminal Court of the District of Columbia and as Mayor of Alexandria. During his ownership, Mason made Colross his chief homestead and undertook substantial modifications and additions to the mansion. After a series of successive ownerships, the area around Colross became heavily industrialized, and the mansion was purchased by John Munn in 1929. Between 1929 and 1932, the mansion was transported brick by brick to Princeton. In 1958, Colross was sold to Princeton Day School. It currently serves as an administration building for the school, housing its admission and advancement offices.The Colross mansion is a two-story brick Georgian style structure, featuring an architectural plan similar to Mount Vernon and Woodlawn, and originally flanked by two wings. The front entrance is covered by a spacious Neoclassical portico supported by wooden Doric columns. The roof is topped by a balustraded deck and further embellished by three dormer windows. Following its purchase by a real estate development company in 2005, an archaeological excavation of the original Colross site began between March and June 2005 at the behest of the city of Alexandria. Archaeologists uncovered an underground domed brick cistern and evidence of slave outbuildings, in addition to the foundations of the estate's peripheral walls and several ancillary structures. The excavation of the Colross site resulted in 79 condominium buyers walking away from their purchase agreements, due to the delay in construction of the luxury Monarch Condominium project.Colross served as the venue for several significant Mason family events, including the wedding ceremonies of Thomson Francis Mason's daughters, Sarah Elizabeth Mason (1819–1907) and Virginia Mason (1830–1919). According to local tradition, two children in the Mason family died under different circumstances on the property and were interred in the estate's burial vault. Successive owners of the Colross estate claimed that it was haunted by the deceased Mason children.".
