FRONT STREET runs north and south, west of Second Street and parallel to the Delaware River from Erie Street in North Camden as far south as Atlantic Avenue. It originally ran virtually uninterrupted, but in the very early 1970s a number of redevelopment projects took place. |
Do you have a Front Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here. |

South-East Corner of Front Street & Kaighn Avenue South Ferry Hotel Built prior to the Revolutionary War, during the British occupation of Philadelphia one of their cannon balls pierced the brick wall of the chimney, and rolled out on the hearth of the open fireplace. As a relic connecting Camden’s history with the events of the Revolution it was exhibited at the great Sanitary Fair, held in Logan Square In Philadelphia, in 1864, which realized over $1,000,000 in aid of the sick and wounded Union soldiers of the Civil War. When first opened as a hotel it was close by the river-bank, and the ferry-boats, when started, had their slip across the street. The hotel is now nearly two squares away from the Kaighn's Point Ferry, the intervening ground having being filled in and built up to within a short distance of the ferry slip. It, however, still retains the name of South Ferry Hotel. A century ago it was a famous place of resort in the summer days for citizens of Philadelphia. -History
of Camden County, New Jersey Around 1900 the South Ferry Hotel was razed to accomodate an expansion of the railroad yard at South Front Street and Kaighn Avenue. - PMC
