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. |
