Really nice Victorian home with lots of brackets and a terrific porch. The home is rather boxy compared to the typical Victorian found on this road. The home is located at the southern tip of the historic district, 123 Chestnut Street.

This Victorian lacks the gables but has gads of windows and an extended cornice with neat Victorian detail.
For a 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 site not withstanding.
Similar to 119. Typical Victorian porch with brackets. Other Victorian details preserved. In good condition. --- 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 for this homes is kinda dicey as it is at an intersection. Park a few houses away on Lincoln Street across from the school, then walk back up and make a right on Chestnut and walk down the block.
