This store is scrunched between structures. it has a recessed entrance and could double as a secret lair they way it is laid out. This part of the street has a few of these smaller commercial properties completely overwhelmed by the large monsters. Guess their rent is much cheaper as well. The narrative has it listed as a drug store but today it is a gallery.

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.

Drug Store. Twin bulk windows and double entrance in metal. Adjoining and part of same building is a wardrobe shop with recessed bulk window, and divided lights entrance. --- National Register of Historic Places Inventory -- Haddonfield Historic District Nomination Form
