PARK BOULEVARD got its name from from the parks (Red Hill, Forest Hill, and Farnham) which it originally skirted. It is one of the three main thoroughfares of the Parkside neighborhood, the others being Kaighn Avenue and Baird Boulevard. It begins at Haddon Avenue as a continuation of Chestnut Street, heading north before curving east more or less parallel to the Cooper River, crossing Baird Boulevard and Kaighn Avenue before coming to an end at Vesper Boulevard, which is the border of Harleigh Cemetery. Park Avenue landmarks include the Pearlye Building, Camden High School, Farnham Park, and Pomona Hall, the home of the Camden County Historical Society. More recent significant buildings include the Boys and Girls Club, built on the site where the Congregation Beth El Synagogue stood from the 1920s through the late 1990s, and the Faison Mews senior citizens apartments, which opened in 2006. |

1960s 1275 Park Boulevard was the home of my aunt and uncle, Joseph and Rose DiMassimo and their children, Joseph and Evelyn DiMassimo Berenato. That corner house had an apartment on the third floor and my parents and many others lived there for several years. My uncle Joe's brother Eugenio Dimassimo and his wife Vitoria DiMassimo and their son Gabriel DiMassimo lived at 1275 Park Boulevard when they arrived from Italy as well until 1961 or 62. Loretta

1940s-1945 I have learned that prior to my mother and father living on the third floor apt at this address one of the friends and his wife lived there. He was a Camden Fireman, Leonard Iannelli along with his wife Olga. I had heard this story all my life about poor Lenny getting killed so young but I never knew them or I was too young to remember any of them.. Loretta

1940s-1945 Olga Iannelli in front of 1275 Park Blvd. Mrs. Iannelli came from San Bartelomeo, Italy. That is the same place my grandparents Anthony and Lorenzina Petrillo came from. I don't know if they all knew each other back there or they became friends in Camden because they were from the same town. Loretta

Ames
Held In Slaying In Camden A 47-year-old Atlantic City man is being held without bail in Camden County jail today awaiting grand jury action on a murder charge. Municipal Judge George E. Stransky Jr. yesterday ordered Anderson Ames of the 1900 block Huron Avenue held in connection with the June 11 fatal shooting of Rudolph Brown, 57, of 1975 Park Boulevard. Camden police say the shooting took place in the home of Herbert (Midnight) Johnson, 52, of the 200 block North 10th Street. Brown died a few minutes after being admitted to Cooper Hospital with a chest wound. Ames, who police report was wounded in the head during the same incident, was released from that hospital's intensive care unit Monday. Johnson, who has been released in $2,000 bail pending an August 1 hearing on charges of possessing lottery paraphernalia, was permitted to sign his own $1,000 bail bond for appearance before the grand jury as a material witness. Police claim to have found more than 5,000 numbers slips while searching his home. Ames appeared at yesterday's hearing in a wheel chair. Among witnesses who testified yesterday were Jesse A. Jones, 50, of the 1100 block Cooper Street, Leon Williams, 65; of Kentucky Avenue, Atlantic City, and Hugh Johnson, 34, of the 800 block Cherry Street. Williams was freed in $1,000 bail as a material witness. Jimmie. L. Harrison, 31, of the 1900 block Norris Street and Leroy Butcher, 34, of the 5900 block Lansdowne Avenue, Philadelphia also are free in bail as material witnesses. Neither Harrison nor Butcher was at yesterday’s hearing the judge said he surmised they had not had sufficient notice to appear. |
