This is a simple structure built in 1952, making it one of the 'newest' structures. It blends in nicely and is one of the few not originally a private residence. I guess all the structures cannot be jewels.
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.
One-story, built about 30 years ago. Curved bulk windows with divided lights. Recessed double door entrance with colonial details. Vermont slate pitched roof with heavy overhand of the cornice. Entire building well done and harmonious to colonial business district on Kings Highway. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
