Pfeiffer Street

PFEIFFER STREET is in East Camden, and runs parallel to Marlton Avenue and the Admiral Wilson Boulevard, from Berwick Street, across Baird Boulevard to the city limits, and continues for a short distance into Pennsauken. It was named after Camden businessman George E. Pfeiffer Jr. 

Only two homes are listed on Pfeiffer Street in the 1924 Camden City Directory. Many of the houses on Pfeiffer Street were already built by 1947. The street was built up by the 1960s.

My parents bought the duplex at 592 Pfeiffer Street in September 1948 after they were married. They raised their family of three changing the duplex into a house until 1973.  We were the last house and our neighbors the Gongloff were in Pennsauken.  Ruth and Jim Greenway, 592 Pfeiffer Street.
