What I can see of the building in the top photo reminds  me of the round one (sorry, can't remember name) at Union College, Schenectady, so you might want to Google along those lines.   I saw it only once, in passing, so I may be way off base.

Pretty sure the first one is the John C. Green School of Science, built in Princeton in 1873.
 
"It housed the science department of the College of New Jersey (the original name of Princeton University). On November 26, 1928, it was destroyed by a fire."

You're very welcome, but Argon's identification is the correct one.
