One of many late Victorian era houses on this street. This road represents the earliest part of this historic district. The road is lined with mature trees and many homes refurbished to period with authentic looking detail. Unlike some of the other homes, this one is still in-line with the narrative written 31 years ago.
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.
2 ½ story mid-Victorian dwelling. Front porch and side porches with gingerbread trim. Gable end has side brackets, two story bay windows. Excellent condition --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form

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.
