Big, Beautiful brick building built in the 70s but with its dormers, cornice and other intricate detail, one would never know. Works well with the district and was built to do so.

Another exceptional property built to contribute. So, while not there originally, its construction was made to keep the integrity of the district intact; it does so nicely. One of the more choice properties on the street.
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.
2 1/2 story office built about five years ago, well designed in colonial style. Red brick, white trim, six over six lights, cornice work with dentils and three dormers in the roof with six over six lights. Double door entrance, traditional transom, dog ear trim. Facade resembles large colonial residence rather than a commercial building. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
