Not much to say. Small 50 year old house with nice features and a nicely windowed, enclosed front porch. Anywhere else this is a fine mid 20th century home, but here, it is dwarfed when compared to its older brothers and sisters.
For a slightly more detailed and informed physical description of this site, I have added information from the original nomination form sent to me by John P. Byrne, National Register Database Manager (John_Byrne@nps.gov), Department of the Interior. This narrative was created March 16, 1979, mailed in to Washington, D.C. and evaluated April 18, 1980 and finally approved on July 21, 1982. Thanks to this designation and the efforts of the community to stop developers in the early 70s, Haddonfield is permanently protected and is one of the best example of an intact Colonial America. This house most likely replaced a razed mid-Victorian dwelling. This street does not represent Colonial architecture but late 19th century semi-Victorian architecture, this house not withstanding.
1½ story frame bungalow with dormer windows and gable end. No architectural distinction. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
If you have half a mind to explore this waymark and the hundreds of others in this historic area, go to this WEBSITE, you will see where all the free parking in town is located as well as all the other historical areas. The are several close-by public parking areas. Parking is difficult on Lincoln Street as the Junior School is directly across the street. Obviously, parking during a weekday when school is in session is out of the question...too suspicious. I would recommend parking on Chestnut Street and walking the 300 feet to the school if you are so inclined to visit it. On the weekend, park where ya want.
