The front entrance with its columns, a classical Greek pediment supported by an entablature and surrounded by cornice work make this the most distinguished feature of this structure. The rear extends far back on Tanner Street, this property is at the corner of Tanner and Kings Highway.
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.
Fairly new 2-story red brick building. Flat roof, large extended colonial cornice with medallions on upper floor. Colonial type windows, six over six lights, with key blocks in cast stone. Probably built about 1920-1930. Entrance to apartments and offices above is quite classic with pediment entablature, 3/4 engaged columns. Two shops on first floor with bulk windows; not divided and inharmonious with adjoining colonialized facades. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
