Soon after John Kaighn purchased 460 acres from Robert Turner in 1696, a lane was established connecting his plantation with the already established settlement on Newton Creek. While the course of this lane is not exactly known, it is almost certain, from the topography of the ground and the fact that the Indian trail to Haddonfield already existed, that it closely followed the line of the present Kaighn Avenue, which in the early days and deeds dated before 1730 is called Kaighn’s Lane, or Kaighn’s Point Lane or Avenue. When Kaighnton was laid out in 1810 it had become an established thoroughfare.* With the establishment of a ferry at Kaighn's Point, Kaighn Avenue's position as a street for commerce an industry was guaranteed. Important businesses located on Kaighn Avenue during the 19th century included the Capewell Glass Works and John Cooper's lumber, ice, and coal business. Around the turn of the century Kaighn Avenue near Broadway became one of the premier retail streets in Camden, with many Jewish-American business finding success. When the Parkside section of Camden was developed, Kaighn Avenue east of Haddon Avenue became one of the more fashionable neighborhoods in the city, with several churches built between Haddon Avenue and Park Boulevard, and palatial homes built on Kaighn Avenue opposite Farnham Park. Kaighn Avenue between Ninth and Tenth Streets has been the scene of flooding when severe rain storms occur near high tide. One such flood occurred on August 11, 1958 and was photographed by Bob Bartosz. These photos are presented below. * Rambles Through Old Highways and Byways of West Jersey – Charles S.

Ferry Hotel The Ferry Hotel at the foot of Kaighn Avenue and near the Ferry House, was built in 1864 by Dorman & Stout, the contractors for the owner, John E. Reese. Hugh Miller was the first proprietor and kept it until 1868, when it was leased to John Bamford, who has since conducted it. -History
of Camden County, New Jersey John Bamford operated the Ferry Hotel until it was razed in 1889, when the Atlantic City Railway Company, a subsidiary of the Reading Railroad, laid tracks so as to connect with the ferry at Kaighn's Point. |

| South-East
Corner of Front Street & Kaighn Avenue South Ferry Hotel Built prior to the Revolutionary War, during the British occupation of Philadelphia one of their cannon balls pierced the brick wall of the chimney, and rolled out on the hearth of the open fireplace. As a relic connecting Camden’s history with the events of the Revolution it was exhibited at the great Sanitary Fair, held in Logan Square In Philadelphia, in 1864, which realized over $1,000,000 in aid of the sick and wounded Union soldiers of the Civil War. When first opened as a hotel it was close by the river-bank, and the ferry-boats, when started, had their slip across the street. The hotel is now nearly two squares away from the Kaighns Point Ferry, the intervening ground having being filled in and built up to within a short distance of the ferry slip. It, however, still retains the name of South Ferry Hotel. A century ago it was a famous place of resort in the summer days for citizens of Philadelphia. -History

POLICE
CAN’T STOP RELIGIOUS RACKETS The Philadelphia district attorney's office is powerless to curb racketeers so long as they operate under the guise of a religious organization, That, was admitted yesterday by Patrick J. McKewen, chief of the Philadelphia county detectives, who acted as spokesman for the prosecutor's office. McKewen made the statement when questioned upon what action would be taken against Nicholas Cavallucci, founder and president of the "Home Missionary Relief Worker's Association, Inc." alleged racketeering charity organization, Cavallucci has established a network of 10 "missions" employing nearly 200 solicitors on a fifty-fifty basis. The charity association was exposed Monday by newspapers. Following the expose, McKewen admitted that Cavallucci's activities have been under police surveillance for some time and that the "mission" head, recently had been taken to the Philadelphia district attorney's office on charges of running a punch-board racket, Cavallucci was released when he promised to discontinue this sideline. Camden headquarters of the association, 131 Kaighn Avenue, was dark last night and no one answered the door bell. |

I remember my Grandfather talking about the restaurant he owned around 2nd and Kaighn Avenue. It was called "Purcell's Seafood House", and I vaguely remember seeing a photo of my Grandfather standing in front of two large plate glass windows, with the entrance in between them, and a large fern on a pedestal in each window. He was rather short and rotund and had a large white apron on and was smiling with his hands on his hips. He was old and blind when I was a young child (born in 1937) but he told such interesting stories. His marriage certificate dated 1905 to Miss Katie Sullivan states his occupation as "restaurant keeper" in Camden, NJ. I remember being told the restaurant failed because "the ferry closed down when the bridge opened up" and he was never the same after that. Alicemary

On Kaighn Avenue there was a joined complex of store front plate glass windowed buildings starting at #131 Sister Emily's Mission Church, and #133, residence of Anthony and Catherine Ranieri. My Uncle "Puss", Henry C. Block owned and operated a storage room with door at #135, then a single doorway providing access to the rear and second floor at #135 (same number), and finally the restaurant at #137. Prior owners were the Brong's whose grandson Francis Marshall was my brother Neil's best friend. The final building in the complex was (in my day) a bricked up front that housed Gaudio's first frozen food locker, #139, followed by Gaudio's officially at 141 Kaighn Avenue John H. Block, May 2009 |

My father and uncle- Louis Zubrin and Herman Kaplan, brother-in-laws- started the company at 10th and Pine Street in 1940. They moved the processing to 713 Kaighn Avenue a few years later, retaining the warehouse at on Pine for barrel storage and coopering (barrel repairs). Around 1955 they built a new building at 2nd and Kaighn Avenue, adding on twice in the following years as they grew. In the 60s they built the building across the street on the northwest corner. Lou Zubrin died suddenly in 1959 at age 54 and Mr. Kaplan bought out my mother soon after. Herman Kaplan died around 1974 and his sons Ronald and Richard have owned and operated the business ever since. They have worked very hard to build it to what it is today. My father and uncle would be very proud of them. My brothers and I worked in the business as teenagers but pursued other careers. My eldest brother Jay R. Zubrin is a general surgeon in Newport Beach Ca. My other brother, Robert H. Zubrin is a retired musician and sells real estate in Palm Springs, CA and I am a general contractor in Washington Township, Gloucester County. My mother was a Teitelman, my father's mother a Ruttenberg. Our family and extended families are an important part of the history of the Jewish community in southern New Jersey. We are also related to the Bookbinders and Denbos. My grandfather was Meyer Teitelman who has in the grocery business and along with his brothers, real estate. Steve

House Of Ruttenberg Click on Image to Enlarge I remember when TV first became popular. Before we had one the House of Ruttenberg's on Kaighn Avenue had TV sets in front display window with loud speakers outside so you could hear TV and see TV in action. I remember my grandfather putting newspaper inside our coats to keep us warm and going over to Kaighn Avenue to watch the Lone Ranger. There would be a large crowd of people watching even through it was cold as hell. He thought TV was marvelous thing- John Ciafrani |

INVISIBLE EYEGLASSES BEING OFFERED HERE Invisible
optical glasses as an aid to better vision. That
is the latest invention and they are being offered to Camden residents
for the first time by Dr. S. L. Yubas, of 431 Kaighn Avenue. They are
known as contact glasses. They
are a saucer shaped glass, which is worn under the eyelid in direct
contact with the eye itself. These glasses can hardly be seen while the
patient is wearing them. Stage
and screen luminaries are said to favor them. Libby Holman is reputed to
be one of the staunch users. Joan Crawford, famous screen star, uses
them in the studios. "The secret of it lays not in the main disc itself but a smaller superimposed disc inside," Dr. Yubas says. "Inside this small disc is a patented liquid, the key to the optical aid. Some people may think this will injure the eye but it will not hurt them as it sets on the white of the eye ball." |

ROSS, HATS AND CAPS 433 KAIGHN'S AVENUE, Among the many pioneers of this neighborhood, Mr. Ross has been as successful as any. Six years ago this gentleman opened a small store just opposite, devoted exclusively to the sale of men's hats and caps, and finding that the business was growing, larger quarters were secured two years ago at the present beautiful store. The store proper is about 25 by 35 feet. Mr. Ross has been a life-long resident of Camden,
and in the days of the old Fire Department was one of the many faithful watchers who looked so carefully
after the house- |

Corner of Toone
& Hollinshed The 1880 census shows that Isaac C. Toone made his residence at 463 Kaighn Avenue, where he had his store. He later took on a partner, and the building seen at left was erected, By World War I the business and the property had passed into the hands of A.G. McCrory. A disastrous fire on December 14, 1921 destroyed the former Toone & Hollinshed Department Store, wrecked the Sargal Shoe Store and damaged five other business houses, entailing a loss of $200,000. A.G. McCrory's 5 & 10 Cent Store remained in business under that name into the 1990s, and remains open for business today, under new ownership. The postal address for the building, at Broadway and Kaighn Avenue is 455 Kaighn, although the building has a far greater frontage on Broadway. Card is based on photograph taken after 1910. |

Kaighn Avenue November
1948-1960s We moved from Ablett Village to that address in November 1948 when my parents opened Max's Virginia Market, a small meat and grocery store that specialized in Southern products. I maintain my folks were selling "Soul food" before the term had been invented. I have many memories of that neighborhood and the people in it.....Herman Weinraub, the tailor, Jack Volk and his father-in-law George Somers, the locksmiths; Eddie Bond, the bar owner; Hoffman, the baker; Zuckerman, the deli man; "old man" Fox and his son, a (friendly) competitor of my folks; Gus, the Greek, who had the diner on the corner. I'm pretty sure Ross Plumbing & Heating replaced our old coal-fired heating/hot water system with an oil heating system, probably around 1951. Sam Sklar was our barber, Had a shop just across Kaighn Avenue from my Dad's store. His kids were Eddie and Harold. Weinraub, the tailor, who lived on the corner of Kaighn and Baring St. had kids Alfie, Nissie, and Barbara (another daughter's name escapes me). My sister is still close to Barbara. My folks had the store from November 1948 until around the early-to-mid '60's. They sold it after my Dad had a series of heart attacks. I have a great story about how my mother saved Eddie Bond's "bacon" just before his bar was raided by the cops. He was so grateful he put the word out on the street that NOBODY better mess with my family or the store....and he really had clout back then. I used to walk to school....Hatch Jr., then Camden High School from the store....we lived behind and above it. Allen

FIREMEN RESCUE CAT ENTANGLED IN WIRES Nearly 500 persons gathered at Tenth Street and Kaighn avenue yesterday to watch policemen and firemen recover a cat that had climbed up a pole and become entangled in telephone wires. The crowd began to gather when a resident nearby saw the cat's predicament and tried to persuade it to come down. Tabby simply couldn't make the return trip. The Second Police District patrol was summoned. Without a ladder or climbing irons, its crew was powerless. Fire Truck Co. No.2, Sixth Street and Kaighn Avenue, was called. Its men threw up a ladder and the cat soon was safety back to earth. In the absence of anyone identifying it, it was placed in a nearby drug store. |
