There
are two TWELFTH STREETs in Camden, one north, one south, that share nothing but a
name. North 12th Street ran at one time from Federal Street north to the
Cooper River, and had some homes, industries including the Moro Phillips
chemical works and the N.B. Greaves varnish factory, a baseball stadium and at
its northern end, five frame homes and four boathouse. Highway construction has pretty much
obliterated the street, it still appears on maps, between Federal and Penn
Streets, but there are no addresses or buildings. A very small section of what
was North 12th Street between Penn and Linden Streets appears on maps as Penn
Street. |
Do you have a Twelfth Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here. |
