Camden Streets - Edmunds Street

EDMUNDS STREET, which still exists but today appears on no maps, ran as an alley with no homes fronting on it from Blaine Street south to Clinton Street, then picked up about 50 feet west on Clinton Street and runs south for one block to Royden Street. Edmunds Street appear in Camden City Directories in 1887. By 1891 fourteen homes were built on Edmunds Street, which appears on that year's Sanborn Map as Edwin Street. Five of these homes were still standing in 1947, none, had listed phone numbers in 1969. Today Edmunds Street runs from Blaine Street to New Street, where it is interrupted by The Cooper Building condominium apartments, then resumes midway between New Street and Berkley Street and continues to Clinton Street. The last section of Edmunds Street, from Clinton Street to Royden Streets, was erased in the late 1990s or early 2000s in order to build a public park, which unfortunately for a time shortly after construction became a hangout for local drug dealers.

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

My family lived at 516 Edmund Street, we moved to Glendora, NJ in 1955 when I was 12 yrs old. 516 Edmund was the section between Clinton Street and Royden Street, which is a park today. 516 was a two-story rowhome with a coal heater. It was sandwiched by 2 other rowhomes, one owned by a Mrs. Kelly, on the other side was my great-aunt Gertrude Jaricki (nee Gushue). I may not be spelling Jericki correctly.
