This is one of the newer homes, built in the 1920s. Some notable details are the three dormers, a double in the middle and an usual addition, with two on the top right and left. The house has a second elevations with a brick chimney on the right side. The home kind of sticks out with the rest of the street, which has a late 19th century feel.
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. Grove Street represents the late part of construction within Haddonfield, occurring the 1880s and 1890s.
2½ story frame dwelling built in 1920s. Open porch across front. Wood siding on first floor, shingles in broken line on second floor. Original wood posts replaced with iron grillage, an incongruous replacement, now prohibited by Historic District Ordinance. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
