The Mary Redman House is located at 213-215 East Kings Highway. It is home of the Onion Pearl Restaurant, home of an excellent sushi bar. The house has been marked by the historical society with the owners name, Mary Redman Miller with the date of 1765. The structure is a corner property and is looks like a boot. It is multi leveled with the left side one story lower than the right side which is three stories. I noted three entrances, two on the left and one on the right.
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.
"Historic building site with historical marker: Mary Redman Miller - 1765. "Redman" is one of the earliest distinguished families in Haddonfield. 3-story brick dwelling, converted into a store front some years ago, now a small restaurant with two bulk windows." --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
