Nice attic windows, cool porches and nice brackets make this a fine example of a twin Victorian. This is one of a handful that can be found in the historic district. The rest are full homes.
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.
Large 2½ story Victorian twin, with twin bays and connected open porch, all with gingerbread brackets, cornice work and posts. Gable ends have circle head windows. Pretty much unaltered except for aluminum siding. --- 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, then walk back up and make a right on Chestnut and walk down the block.
