Camden Streets - Carteret Street

Carteret Street, in Camden's old Ninth Ward, ran just two blocks, from the old Armory (later Convention Hall) in the 700 block of Mickle Street southeast, crossing Wright Avenue, to its end at Newton Avenue. It was laid and out and houses were built along it after 1891, a stone's throw from Camden's old City Hall at Haddon and Wright Avenues. The street ran parallel to Haddon Avenue.

Carteret Street fell victim to "progress", that progress being the construction of Interstate 676 that in some ways was more devastating to Camden than the building of the Ben Franklin Bridge. Carteret Street is no more, having been erased at the Mickle Street end by the parking lot that lies adjacent to the "3 Cooper Plaza" medical building and at the Newton Avenue end by the highway.

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