Camden Streets - Seventeenth Street- 17th Street

SEVENTEENTH STREET runs from Harrison Avenue to River Avenue in what was originally called the Pavonia section of what is now considered Cramer Hill. All addresses here are North 17th Street. There is also a South 17th Street that runs from Federal Street in East Camden south across Carman Street and onward to Admiral Wilson Boulevard.

Do you have an Seventeenth Street memory or picture? Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.
