1226 Chestnut was a New Jersey property that Indiana Jones rented in his hometown of Princeton in the early 1930s while he taught at Princeton University.
History[]
Indiana Jones moved out of the Jones family house in his hometown of Princeton, New Jersey in 1919,[2] though he hadn't lived there for three years.[3]
By 1933, now a doctor of archaeology, Indiana Jones was living at 1226 Chestnut, a rented property, while he taught at Princeton University.[1] A year later, the mortally wounded Evelyn Briggs Baldwin showed up at Jones' home to warn of Nazi interest in the people living within the Earth's crust.[4]
By 1936, Jones had relocated to a new home for his professorship at Marshall College,[5] in Bedford, Connecticut.[6]
Behind the scenes[]
1226 Chestnut may also appear in Indiana Jones et le Grimoire Maudit, set in 1936, where Indiana Jones is shown living and teaching in Princeton out of Barnett College—situated in Fairfield, New York in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade—instead of Princeton University. No source has provided a reconciliation for the discrepancy.
