Streets of Camden, NJ Spring Street |

SPRING S TREET existed in Camden as early as 1850. By 1891 the street had been mapped out to run north and south from Clinton Street, between of Second Street and Front Street in South Camden. It was intended to go as far south as Walnut Street, but appears to have been interrupted by Volney Bennett's lumber yard at Pine Street. The 1906 Sanborn Map does show a block of Spring Street between Spruce and Cherry Streets within the confines of the lumber yard. Besides the Bennett lumberyard, at least one other industrial building was sited on Spring Street, t he S.P. Wright Ink Factory. This complex was located on Spring Street between Clinton and Line Streets. It had closed by 1906, at which time there was talk about converting the plant into a morocco leather factory. Closer to Pine Street, the Henry F. Horsman & Sons teamster business was active in the 1890s. The family lived on Spring Street during these years as well, and after moving away, came back in the mid-1900s. By 1891 a few frame dwellings had been built just north of Pine Street, two of which were still standing as late as 1928. During these years a few families lived on Spring Street for a good number of years, but for the most part City Directories indicate that people came and went after a year or so. An interesting point is that more than a few households occupied two or three addresses at different times. There were a few extended families who spent time on Spring Street as well. By 1947 the residential buildings were long gone, and Spring Street was literally erased after World War II. No physical signs of Spring Street remain. |
