Silver Street

SILVER STREET is a two block street that runs north to south from Line Street to Division Street, west of South 8th Street. In the rear of the homes in the 700 block, that is from Line to Pine Street, is a short street with six homes named Gold Street, that is only accessible through an unnamed alley north of 708 Silver Street. By 2009 all of the homes on both Silver Street and Gold Street had been razed. Silver Street still exists in the sense that on can drive through it. Outside of the curb cutouts, all traces of Gold Street are now gone.

Silver Street does not appear in the 1885 Sanborn Maps of Camden. Houses in both the 700 and 800 blocks appear in the 1888-1889 Camden City Directory. There were still homes on both blocks as late as 1980. There are no homes listed on Gold Street in the 1930 Census, however.

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