ST. MIHIEL STREET, named for the World War I Battle of the St. Mihiel, where American forces performed heroically, originally ran north from Line Street to Mt. Ephraim Avenue. The original Camden Convention Hall stood on the northeast corner of  St. Mihiel Street and Line Street. 

In the late 1940s, St. Mihiel Street was shortened, terminating at North 10th Street, when the Camden Connection overpass was built, crossing Admiral Wilson Boulevard at Memorial Avenue. In the early 1950s.Camden Convention Hall was destroyed by fire. Campbell Soup acquired the land where Convention Hall stood, as well as several other parcels of real estate along Memorial Avenue including the Mechling Brothers factory, to build their corporate headquarters. Argonne Street and Verdun Street, which also bordered Convention Hall, disappeared as part of that construction, as did the greater part of Memorial Avenue.. 

In more recent years, St. Mihiel Street was renamed St. Mihiel Avenue.

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