Broadway


BROADWAY in Camden..... a legendary street, once the "Mall of South Jersey". Running south west of 6th Streets past Ferry Avenue and then all the way to Gloucester City, and eventually on to Woodbury, Broadway was extended north from its beginning at Market Street through to the Delaware River (Ben Franklin) Bridge toll plaza in the 1920s. 

When Camden began its period of industrial growth and expansion after the Civil War, the intersections of Broadway and Federal Street, Broadway and Kaighn Avenue, and Broadway and Ferry Avenue became anchor locations in the civic and commercial life of Camden and the surrounding areas. Homes and businesses soon filled in the "empty spaces" between these intersections. During the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th Century, Camden-based contractor John J. Welsh was known in the city as "the man who built Broadway", as his firm was involved with a great many projects along the thoroughfare. Brothers George M. Holl and Lewis F. Holl also completed many projects during these years. James H. Reeve, who had worked for Welsh as a foreman, remodeled many of the homes, including those on the Holl Block, between Stevens and Mickle Streets, for business purposes. Reeve and his sons also built three theatres on Broadway, the Lyric, the Towers, and the Princess. 

In 1938 a proposal was floated to widen Broadway as a state highway project. This went nowhere.

Camden Courier-Post * February 28, 1938

BUSINESS MEN TO HEAR WIDER-BROADWAY PLAN

The plan of S. Herbert Taylor, assistant county engineer, for widening of Broadway as a state highway project will be explained by him at a meeting of property owners and Broadway business men in the Chamber of Commerce Assembly room at 3.30 p .m. Thursday.

Taylor will explain his proposal at the request of a sub-committee of the Retail Merchants Division of the Chamber, headed by J. V. Moran.

"This matter is of immediate interest to every business man on Broadway," Moran said in inviting all Broadway business men to attend, "and I cannot urge too strongly that either you personally or some one authorized to speak for you should attend."

When Camden began its economic decline in the 1950s, Broadway suffered right along with it. Broadway became in many ways the symbol of Camden's economic fall. Although there have been some new buildings erected in recent years, most significantly the Walter Rand Transportation Center between Broadway and Mickle Streets, far too much of Broadway in June of 2004 consists of vacant lots and boarded up buildings.

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

Architect's Conception of Proposed Bus Terminal 

The above drawing shows the proposed bus terminal to be built on the block bordered by Broadway, Sixth Street, Cooper Street and Lawrence Street. Two two-story buildings, 128 feet long and 28 feet deep, to be erected, one facing on Broadway and the other on Sixth street. Between the two buildings there will be a 67-foot street from Cooper to Lawrence Street where buses will take on and leave passengers.

The Commerce Building, at the  corner of Broadway & Federal Streets, sits on the land formerly occupied by the Munger & Long building, the home of the J.C. Penney store in Camden for many years. By the mid 1990s the building had very few tenants. Structurally sound, it is one of the very few pre-1980s building left standing on the ground between Mickle and Federal Street west of 10th Street.

COP ON LEDGE THRILLS HUNDREDS DRAWN BY FALSE BURGLAR ALARM

Several hundred persons, attracted by the loud ringing of a burglar alarm at the King jewelry store, 4 Broadway, watched Patrolman John V. Wilkie last night as he climbed over the roof of the building and across a narrow ledge to an open second story window to investigate the alarm.

Failing to find anyone, Wilkie climbed back, over the ledge to the roof after finding himself locked in the building.

A score of police detectives and motorcycle patrolmen answered the alarm. William Schoeffling, manager of the jewelry concern, was notified of the "false alarm."

I have many memories, as a young boy, from the office windows, watching train traffic crossing Broadway on the old bridge (viaduct) right outside the window!

On Left, 201-203 Broadway. During the 1880s and early 1890s Dr. William Jones and insurance agent Charles Ford kept offices there.  By 1914 future Camden Mayor Roy R Stewart had established a men's clothing business there, which remained at that location as late as 1929.

By 1936 the first floor awnings of the Holl Block were gone, as were the decorations on the roof. Occupying the first floor of the 12-story Stevens Building was the Futernick's, a popular dry goods store from the 1930s through mid 1950s.

of Camden, New Jersey

M. B. WEST, DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS, 
517 MARKET STREET 

AN extremely nice stock of goods is carried by this house, including Dry Goods, Ribbons, Trimmings Silks, etc. An attractively furnished store, 18 by 38 feet in dimensions, being fully stocked with the best brands of these goods obtainable in the market.

The place was established by Mr. E. C. Troth, whom the present proprietor succeeded in 1888. 

The proprietor is a native of Morristown, N. J., and is admirably adapted, both by experience and excellent social qualities for a successful conduct of a business of this description.

Hartmann Approves Plans for 2 Modern Stores at 213-15 Broadway

Plans for two modern stores on the site of 213-15 
Broadway, have been approved by Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann.

The stores, modernistic in design, will be built for Abraham Brandt, of 104 King street, Gloucester City. The contractor will be S. Levy, Inc.

Two former stores on the sites have been razed to make room for the more modern buildings, which
will be the first of their design in the city.

The stores will be one story in height with false fronts built to give them greater height. The plans provide for the future erection of upper stories.

CRASH FOILS THIEVES

Thieves who used a ladder to remove a second-story window from Corbett's Kut Price Drug Store, 725 Broadway, were frightened away early yesterday when the window crashed.

Mrs. Prossie Corbett, proprietor of the store, asleep in her bedroom in another part of the building, told the police she heard no noise.

The ladder, recently used by painters at the store, was discovered by David Hawkes, a private watchman in the neighborhood, at 4 a. m. He called the police and Detectives Leon Branch and George Zeitz responded. According to them, the thieves removed the window by using a brace and bit.

Woman Fires Gun After Mistaking Cop for Prowler

A wakened by a noise at 3 a. m. yesterday, Mrs. Prossie Corbett, proprietor of a drug store at 725 Broadway, looked out of her third-story bedroom window and saw a man get in a car and hurriedly drive away.

Mrs. Corbett, whose store burglars attempted to enter last Friday by climbing a ladder and removing a window on the second floor, fired three shots to attract the police, but the car already had disappeared down Broadway.

A few moments later, in answer to her call, half a dozen motorcycle patrolmen were outside her place. Just then Detective Edward Mills came along in his car.

Told of what had occurred, Mills declared it was he who had gotten into the car Mrs. Corbett described to the police. Mills said he had left the car parked there while he made a routine inspection of the neighborhood.

While bakers were at work in an other part of the building, thieves entered the bakery of William Spengel, 825 Broadway, at 6.30 a. m. yesterday and stole $18 from a cash drawer. The theft was discovered when an employee, about to give change to a customer, found the money gone.

Thieves who entered the grocery store of Herman Kaimowitz, Ninth and Elm Streets, during the night, tore a pay telephone station from the wall and took it with them. A quantity of cigarettes also was stolen.

DUDLEY SCHOOL ROBBED,
BOYS BLAMED BY POLICE

Patrolmen of the Second and Third districts are attempting to locate boys who are believed to be responsible for two robberies over the weekend.

Breaking into the Dudley School, Twenty-Third and High Streets, thieves ransacked teachers' desks in every room and carried off the contents of a telephone box which they tore from the wall. Detective William Casler, investigating the thefts, was unable to learn whether anything had been stolen from the desks. He said he round a number of small fingerprints on the windows through which the robbers entered.

The second robbery was reported by Jacob Dubin, of 835 Broadway. He said that a show case in front of his store was broken open and men’s shirts and sweaters valued at $50 stolen

POLICE SEEKING PASSER OF BOGUS MONEY HERE

Camden police yesterday warned merchants to be on the lookout for counterfeit money passers who are working in the city.

 The warning was issued after Morris Zubrow, 1001 Broadway, reported he had been given a bogus $5 bill in payment of a pair of trousers. He described the passer as being five feet, eight inches tall, weighs about 140 pounds and wearing a light shirt and dark trousers.

WILLIAM J. HAINES, Oysters

This gentleman established himself in business here about six years ago, and in a neatly fitted up Dining Room, 20x50 feet in dimensions, and with a capacity of seating about sixty persons. In the season Mr. Haines makes a specialty of his Oysters, which he serves to a number of families, as well as to the trade which he has coming to the store to get their lunches.

In the summer season he has one of the largest Ice Cream businesses in the city, selling as much as a thousand quarts a week when the weather is favorable. This is sold not only to the consumer but at wholesale as well as retail. All this is manufactured on the premises on the rear. All kinds of Confectionery are also kept in constant stock. Mr. Haines gives employment to eight assistants.

He is a native of the State of New Jersey and is prominently connected with the Masons and Red Men.

 ONE of the oldest and  most favorably thought of  houses in this neighborhood is Anthony's China Hall, this business having been here many years, the present proprietor's son, H. B. Anthony, having established the business in 1868, and the present proprietor took hold of it January 14th, 1878.

The store is about 20x80 feet in dimension. Two floors are used as show rooms. Here may be found one of the most complete stocks in the city. All kinds and descriptions of China and Glassware abound as well as a large Lamp Department, in which may be found all the newest and handsomest designs, as well as a full line of Lamp Fittings. A large House Furnishing Goods Department is also run, in which everything of the kind may be found. Six capable and genial assistants are employed. The store is fitted with electric lights and is one of the handsomest in this section.

 Mr. Anthony is a native of Northumberland, North-Cumberland County, Pa., but has been a resident of the citj' thirty-five years.

Your postcard 1910 Broadway& Kaighn has a large sort of wire looking column on corner. Well on that corner during World War II there was  metal pole painted green. On top there were two sirens for air raid warnings. When [I was very young] World War II ended, we were standing outside what was a cigar store I think by then. There were lots of people around. The siren went off, and everyone started shaking hands, patting each other on the back, even hugging. The siren was confirmation that the war in the Pacific was over. It didn't look like the old newsreel you see but everybody was happy as Hell!

The Lansdowne Cafe was renamed in the mid-1970s, and was known as the Jewel Box Cafe, and later as the New Jewel Box Cafe. In 1984 Mel Jones bought the property, and ran it as the Debonair Lounge as late as December of 1985. By September of 1987 the building had been abandoned and was written up for multiple building code violations. The license was sold and transferred to the Boulevard Lounge at 1300 Admiral Wilson Boulevard, the old Sear-Roebuck building. 1447 Broadway is no longer standing. I believe it was razed not long afterwards.

3 WITH GUNS GET $80 IN BROADWAY HOLDUP

Three men, two of them wearing handkerchiefs over their faces, held up a gasoline station attendant at Broadway and Lansdowne Avenue yesterday and escaped with $80, according to detectives.

The police said the men entered the place at 2 a.m. and pointed guns at Robert Horner, 17, of 107 Penn street. The man who did not have his face covered tried to hide his identity by holding his handkerchief to his face.

Horner told Detective Sergeant Gus Koerner two of the men were in their shirt sleeves while the third wore a tan coat. William Risley, of 1380 Lansdowne Avenue, watchman at a nearby bag factory, said he saw the men "acting suspiciously" in the neighborhood and telephoned police headquarters.

MEAL CAUSES ARREST OF 'TOMMY' MORELAND

Arrested early yesterday when he refused to pay a 50-cent check in a restaurant on Kaighn Avenue near Broadway, "Tommy" Moreland, of 1616 Broadway, was arraigned in police court and released with a suspended sentence.

Moreland, a well-known South Camden figure whose name has been connected with numbers activities In Philadelphia's Sixty-ninth street section, pleaded guilty to trying to dodge the meal charge.

Although he urged Police Judge Lewis Liberman to dispose of his case quickly in order that he might proceed to his employment as a stevedore in Philadelphia, Moreland was held here until both Camden and Philadelphia police notified the court he was not wanted on other charges.

Moreland has previously been convicted for receiving stolen goods and for voting illegally in the Eighth Ward

CRAMER—In loving memory of our dear mother, Elsie May Cramer, who died February 14, 1931.
A wonderful mother, woman and aid, One who was better God never made; A wonderful worker, so loyal and true, One in a million—that, mother was you. Just in your judgment, always right, Honest and liberal, ever upright; Loved by your friends and all whom you knew.
Our wonderful mother — that mother was you.
Sadly missed by Children.

After being hit by a truck and knocked over, it was "rescued" and relocated to a city-owned park by a private citizen, Joseph Balzano, who had grown up near the original site. It should be noted that those in power in Camden at the time had no interest in the project... a sad but telling comment on the state of affairs at city hall in 1981.
