Sarah Webster House - Cattell Tract Historic District - Merchantville, NJ - Victorian Style Architecture on Waymarking.com

I took a 2 hour walk of this incredible and little known town/jewel. There are countless examples of wonderful Victorian architecture which is the mainstay for this historic district. I went to the borough hall and picked up a brochure entitled A Walking Tour of the Cattell Tract, A National Registered Historic District. Inside the pamphlet, there are 15 examples of contributing structures with a wide range of diversity so as to allow the visitor to have a complete flavor of the district. There are a total of 174 buildings in the district. While I was unable to procure a list on this day, the borough folks told me contributing houses (everyone from the 1890s) have markers indicating the date of construction and the original homeowner's name. There are many contributing structures without the markers, but, I only documented the ones with the markers so as to waymark them and provide suitable evidence for the contributing structures category. Recently however, the nomination form has been digitized and now all of the properties and narratives are available.

The complete nomination form with all the contributing structures and their narratives can be found HERE
