CARPENTER STREET first appears in City Directories in 1867. The street is not listed in the 1863-1864 Directory. Carpenter Street was a narrow street originally ran from 118 North 8th Street eastwards until it ran into Cooper Street where Cooper angles towards it's intersection with Federal Street near the Cooper River bridges. An alley adjacent to 1129 Carpenter Street provided access to Cooper Street. Carpenter Street at one time was interrupted at North 9th Street by the Hollingshead Factory and a railroad crossing. The Hollingshead factory was destroyed on July 30, 1940 in a spectacular fire. Several homes in the 900 block of Carpenter Street went up in flames with the factory. By 1947 only one family that had been living on Carpenter Street in 1924 was still living on the street. In later years most of Carpenter Street beyond North 9th Street was razed to make way for Interstate 676. Today virtually all that remains is the 800 block, with no buildings standing on it. For many years Carpenter Street was best known as being "the alley behind the Towne Park Motel". |

Judge Pancoast Proves to 2I That Honesty Is Best Policy If there’s a nything Police Judge Pancoast doesn’t like it's to have people trying to fool him, he said. So yesterday Pancoast sent two alleged speakeasy inmates to jail for 6o days and gave the confessed proprietor only 50 days. Emil Hatter, 35, of 829 car penter Street, was arrested for violating the ordinance prohibiting congregation of disorder1y persons on the premises by Lieutenant Herbert Anderson Thursday. Hatter told the court that he was proprietor and was in the illegal liquor business to provide for his two children. "That's no excuse," said the judge, "you should provide for them without breaking the law." He fined Hatter $50 and sentenced him to 50 days when he was unable to pay. The judge then turned to Edward Mackay, 38, of 531 ray street, and Alfred Brooks, 45, of 700 Pearl Street [wrong address - PMC], who, Andersen said, were drunk in Hatter's establishment. Both men admitted having a few drinks, elsewhere, but insisted they were sober and that they did not buy the drinks from Hatter. "I'm good and tired of having peop1e trying to fool me," said Pancoast. "I don't know what they take me for. I'm going to end it, though, by giving each of you 60 days." Unable to pay a fine of $100, George Young, 29, colored, 954 South Ninth Street, was sentenced to 100 days when he pleaded guilty to operating a "washboiler" still in violation of the city speakeasy ordinance. His wife, Ethel, 19, and Annie Fussel, 37, of 614 Chestnut Street , alleged inmates, were given 30 days each in default of $25 fines. |

Camden Courier-Post - July 20. 1949 Tired of playing in dirt and filth littering the thoroughfare, children in the 800 block of Carpenter Street are shown cleaning it after they organized their own volunteer brigade. The youngest of the cleanup squad, two-year-old Howard Handy, is shown in the arms of his sister Patsy, 9 (at rear of automobile). The children, numbering about 20, started the job at 8 a.m. and had the street spic and span four hours later |

Pratt Herman Keeley was born Herman Kuhle, and appeared in City Direcotories under that name until 1888. The 1890-1891 Directory indicates that he had "Americanized" his name to Keeley, and his obituary in December of 1892 also uses this spelling/ The "Keller" spelling in the article at left is incorrect. |

BOYS ON ROOF ACCUSED OF PLOT TO ROB STORE Two 15-year-old boys were arrested last night on charges of breaking and entering and attempted larceny. The boys, Fred Powell, of 1025 Carpenter Street, and John McCloskey, of 33 North Twenty-fifth street, were arrested by Policeman Everett Joslin and John Taylor on the roof of a shanty in the abandoned Humphrey Lumber yard, Point and Pearl Street, which is occupied by William L. Rice, of 206 York Street, as an ice cream and candy store. The boys had broken off a section of the roof and were about to enter the store, the police said. They will be arraigned today. |

Intersection of Cooper Street & Carpenter Street |
|
|
The "intersection" was actually "Richman Alley", an alley that ran from Carpenter Street out to Cooper Street, between 1140 and 1142 Cooper Street. |
