Baring Street


BARING STREET runs for one block south of Chestnut Street to Kaighn Avenue, between Broadway and South 6th Street. The houses on Baring Street were built in 1888 by Wilson Ernst, who was active as a builder in Camden in the 1880s. In the late 1880s Ernst had offices on Benson Street above 4th Street and at 521 Kaighn Avenue. In 1886 George Reeser Prowell wrote, in his History of Camden County New Jersey that "Wilson Ernst has been actively engaged since 1876 and about four hundred buildings, chiefly dwellings, attest to his enterprise." Prowell cited Ernst as one of the three most active builders in Camden at the time.   .

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

Marcus Cabnet "was the city's schochet (ritual slaughterer) who was described to me as the 'right hand man' of Rabbi Riff of Sons of Israel."

"Municipal "Judge Sklar owned an office building on Market Street where my uncle [attorney] George Cabnet had an office.  Uncle George also owned a lunchenette "the Round Up' on the same block as the old Savar Theater. His wife (my father's sister) started a kosher catering business that is still around: Miriam G. Cabnet."
