Charles Steadman (1790–1868) was an architect and builder in Princeton, New Jersey, noted for his churches, university buildings, and especially private homes. He left a significant legacy of Greek Revival buildings at Princeton University, Princeton Theological Seminary, and in the surrounding town. He has been credited with "transform(ing) Princeton from a brick and stone village into a New England–style town of wood and classical influences."[1]
