Streets Broadway |

BROADWAY in Camden..... a legendary street, once the "Mall of South Jersey". Running south between 5th and 6th Streets all the way to Gloucester City, and eventually on to Woodbury, Broadway was extended north from its beginning at Market Street through to the Delaware River (Ben Franklin) Bridge toll plaza in the 1920s. When Camden began its period of industrial growth and expansion after the Civil War, the intersections of Broadway and Federal Street, Broadway and Kaighn Avenue, and Broadway and Ferry Avenue became anchor locations in the civic and commercial life of Camden and the surrounding areas. Homes and businesses soon filled in the "empty spaces" between these intersections. During the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th Century, Camden-based contractor John J. Welsh was known in the city as "the man who built Broadway", as his firm was involved with a great many projects along the thoroughfare. Brothers George M. Holl and Lewis F. Holl also completed many projects during these years. James H. Reeve, who had worked for Welsh as a foreman, remodeled many of the homes, including those on the Holl Block, between Stevens and Mickle Streets, for business purposes. Reeve and his sons also built three theatres on Broadway, the Lyric, the Towers, and the Princess. When Camden began its economic decline in the 1950s, Broadway suffered right along with it. Broadway became in many ways the symbol of Camden's economic fall. Although there have been some new buildings erected in recent years, most significantly the Walter Rand Transportation Center between Broadway and Mickle Streets, far too much of Broadway in June of 2004 consists of vacant lots and boarded up buildings. |

COP ON LEDGE THRILLS HUNDREDS DRAWN BY FALSE BURGLAR ALARM Several hundred persons, attracted by the loud ringing of a burglar alarm at the King jewelry store, 4 Broadway, watched Patrolman John V. Wilkie last night as he climbed over the roof of the building and across a narrow ledge to an open second story window to investigate the alarm. Failing to find anyone, Wilkie climbed back, over the ledge to the roof after finding himself locked in the building. A score of police detectives and motorcycle patrolmen answered the alarm. William Schoeffling, manager of the jewelry concern, was notified of the "false alarm." |

1936-1950s Here's an item that shows that my Uncle, Lester R. Dilts, had an office at 106 S. Broadway, at least in the late '30's into the early '50's. He and his staff not only represented Superior Life Insurance CO., but also the Home Insurance Company of New York, which was much like current Homeowner's insurance. I have many memories, as a young boy, from the office windows, watching train traffic crossing Broadway on the old bridge (viaduct) right outside the window! Curt Parrish |

During the 1880s and early 1890s Dr. William Jones and insurance agent Charles Ford kept offices there. By 1914 future Camden Mayor Roy R Stewart had established a men's clothing business there, which remained at that location as late as 1929. |

CRASH
FOILS THIEVES Thieves
who used a ladder to remove a second-story window from Corbett's Kut
Price Drug Store, 725 Broadway,
were frightened away early yesterday when the window crashed. Mrs.
Prossie Corbett, proprietor of
the
store, asleep in her bedroom in another part of the building, told the
police she heard no noise. The ladder, recently used by painters at the store, was discovered by David Hawkes, a private watchman in the neighborhood, at 4 a. m. He called the police and Detectives Leon Branch and George Zeitz responded. According to them, the thieves removed the window by using a brace and bit. |

A
wakened by a noise at 3 a. m. yesterday, Mrs. Prossie Corbett, proprietor of a
drug store at 725 Broadway, looked
out of her third-story bedroom window and saw a man get in a car and hurriedly
drive away. Mrs.
Corbett, whose store burglars
attempted to enter last Friday by climbing a ladder and removing a window on
the second floor, fired three shots to attract the police, but the car already
had disappeared down Broadway. A
few moments later, in answer to her call, half a dozen motorcycle
patrolmen were outside her place. Just then Detective Edward
Mills came along in his car. Told of what had occurred, Mills declared it was he who had gotten into the car Mrs. Corbett described to the police. Mills said he had left the car parked there while he made a routine inspection of the neighborhood. |

DUDLEY SCHOOL ROBBED, BOYS BLAMED BY POLICE Patrolmen of the Second and Third districts are attempting to locate boys who are believed to be responsible for two robberies over the weekend. Breaking into the Dudley School, Twenty-Third and High Streets, thieves ransacked teachers' desks in every room and carried off the contents of a telephone box which they tore from the wall.

He said that a show case in front of his store was broken open and men’s shirts and sweaters valued at $50 stolen |

Your postcard 1910 Broadway& Kaighn has a large sort of wire looking column on corner. Well on that corner during World War II there was metal pole painted green. On top there were two sirens for air raid warnings. When [I was very young] World War II ended, we were standing outside what was a cigar store I think by then. There were lots of people around. The siren went off, and everyone started shaking hands, patting each other on the back, even hugging. The siren was confirmation that the war in the Pacific was over. It didn't look like the old newsreel you see but everybody was happy as Hell! John Ciafrani, July 2004 |
