WESTFIELD AVENUE was officially known as the Westfield and Camden Turnpike was more popularly known as the Burlington Turnpike. Another one of the old privately built and maintained, it was purchased by local government in May of 1904 for a cost of over $32,000 in response to protests of the citizenry over paying tolls for roads that were not kept in a well-maintained state. Other streets in present-day Camden that were taken over by government around this time included the White Horse Pike (1893), Mount Ephraim Avenue, Marlton Avenue (1907), Haddon Avenue (1909), and Federal Street (1913). Westfield Avenue had been a toll road. The only tollgate on Westfield Avenue within the city limits of Camden was at 36th Street. In 1936 the Public Works Administration erected Westfield Acres, Camden's first public housing project. The first tenants moved in during the spring of 1938. Westfield Acres was demolished to make way for the new Baldwin's Run homes in 2000. The new community welcomed its first residents in the spring of 2003. |
