Car arriving at Einstein's house, Princeton 1939

A car approaches Albert Einstein's two-story wooden house on Mercer Street in Princeton, a colonial-style building with dark shutters and a vine-covered porch. Einstein lived here from his emigration from Germany in 1933 until his death in 1955. In the summer of 1939, he met here with Hungarian-born physicist Leo Szilard to draft a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning of the military potential of nuclear fission.
