The home is located at 63 Chestnut Street, just south of the center of town. This home, as well as the others were built in the late 19th century and represent some of the last representations of Victorian architecture in Haddonfield. There is a really cook 3 panel-angled bay window out from, jutting out from the house a few feet on the left side. The colors have a dark vibrancy, somewhat typical of Victorian homes of this age as well.
The department of the Interior was kind enough to mail me the nomination form and narratives for all of the contributing structures including this one. here is what they have to say about this home:
2½ story late Victorian frame residence which has been altered with a pent eave across the twin bays. Front porch removed. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
