Very long building, taking up two addresses, the left looks like an addition, the right side, looks original with a neat little cupola up top. One story building contributes nicely to the historic street.

Another newer, old building lining this historic street. Serves commercial purposes and is sort of harmonious with the rest of the street but the front facade looks very modern compared to the rest of the street. There is a historic marker on the right side end, attached to the brick, about 10 feet off the ground. It reads:

New Jersey Building
At Centennial
Exposition of 1876
Was Re-Erected And
Stood on this Site
From 1877 Until
About 1900

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.

Small one story red brick building. Slate roof. Overhang. Cupola in center of roof. First floor converted into shops with long bulk windows. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
