James McCosh was its first resident. In 1904 Woodrow Wilson, then University President and Prospect resident, erected an iron fence enclosing five acres. Mrs. Wilson expanded the gardens. Since 1968 the mansion has been converted to a Faculty Club and is available for private events and receptions. Prospect garden is open to the public.
