Thirty-Sixth
Street


THIRTY-SIXTH STREET runs from the Delaware River south, across River Road to Federal Street. As in all numbered streets in Camden, it is North 36th Street above Federal. There is no "South 36th Street". North 36th Street forms Camden's northern border with Pennsauken Township at different intervals along its length. This has resulted in some inconsistency in the street numbering on the north side of North 36th Street, as Pennsauken uses a four-digit street numbering system which is not consistent with Camden's street numbering system.  

Thirty-sixth Street became a part of Camden when Stockton Township became a part of Camden in 1899. The street had already been laid out many years before, and was known in Pennsauken as Cove Avenue into the 1890s.

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

As the result of a collision between machines driven by Hugh W. Wall, 34, of 1199 North Thirty-sixth Street and Edward DuBuske, 38, of 132 Terhune Avenue, Greenville, early yesterday morning at a State Street intersection two persons were injured and Wall was arrested.

Injured are Stella Bucklew, 17, of 3113 Miller Street, Philadelphia and Michael O'Connor, 40, of 1136 North Thirty-fifth Street, here. Both suffered cuts on the face. Sergeant Edward Horne charged Wall with having fictitious license tags and he was held under $25 bail for a hearing before Police Court Judge Pancoast Thursday. Wall said that he bought a new car on October 22 and failed to have the registration tags changed at Trenton.

4 homeless after Camco blaze

An electrical fire damaged an apartment Thursday night in Camden and displaced a family of four, fire officials said.

The blaze was reported about 8:42 p.m. at 139 N. 36 St., an official said.

The fire originated in a bedroom of the second floor apartment, Assistant Chief Fire Marshal Braulio Villegas said.

"Firefighters contained the fire to the front bedroom," Villegas said. "There was moderate smoke and water damage throughout the apartment."

Villegas said the fire, which began as a result of malfunctioning electrical cords, has been ruled accidental.

Camden firefighters brought the blaze under control at 8:56 p.m., authorities said.

No injuries were reported during the incident.

Villegas said working smoke detectors helped the family escape injury.

"The detectors alerted the occupants so that everyone was safely evacuated," he said.

The family received housing assistance from the American Red Cross, fire officials said.

Three other apartments sustained smoke and water damage, Villegas said.
