WAGNER COURT also known as Wagner Court's was a short alley that ran west from 713 South 4th Street into a dead end. Although the street is not named on Sanborn maps, a wood framed dwelling appears in the 1885 Sanborn map and in the 1891 edition. The alley first appears in City Directories in 1896, but no names are associated with Wagner or Wagner's Court. The alley is not named in the 1906 Sanborn map of Camden. What is shown is the frame house new divided into two dwellings. These houses are noted in Camden City Directory listings from 1913 through 1929, but not afterwards. The people who are listed there in the 1929 City Directory lived elsewhere according to the April 1930 Census enumeration, and the 1931 City Directory lists the houses as being vacant. Wagner Court is listed the 1940 City Directory, but no houses are mentioned. They may have fallen victim to fire or simply have collapsed. The city acquired the land where the two houses once stood in December of 1978. The alley between 713 and 715 South 4th Street is still there, but all other traces of Wagner's Court appear to be gone. |
