Camden Streets - Sewell Street

SEWELL STREET is in East Camden. Prior to the late 1990s, Sewell Street ran for only one block, between MArlton Avenue and Morse Street. When the McGuire Gardens public housing project, originally built in 1954, was gutted and rebuilt, Sewell Street was extended to Pfeiffer Street, and several new homes were built. In the meantime, the existing homes on Sewell Street continue to deteriorate, one being completely destroyed by fire during the spring of 2008.

Sewell Street was named after Congressional Medal of Honor awardee General William Joyce Sewell, who later served as a United States Senator from New Jersey.

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