Swetland House

Named after The Peddie School’s ninth and longest-serving headmaster, Dr. Roger W. Swetland (1898-1934),

Swetland House has long been an institutional icon and historic faculty residence. Built in 1910 and acquired in 1942 by Tenth Headmaster Wilbour E. Saunders, the house served as a replacement to the Octagon House as the official headmaster’s residence.

John F. Green, Fifteenth Head of School, was the last to call Swetland home. After his retirement in 2013, construction began on an extensive renovation of the house. With the goal of maintaining the integrity of the original space, the expansive 5-bedroom 3-bathroom house was updated to a 7-bedroom 7.5-bathroom home. Today, Swetland House is a beautifully furnished retreat for invited guests from all over the world. 

We are grateful for the opportunity to offer accommodations in Swetland House to our community. Upkeep, maintenance and management of Swetland House is made possible in part by the generous support of our alumni and friends.
