Boyd Street

Camden Street
Page Contents

Introduction

Boyd Street is in East Camden, and runs parallel to Marlton Avenue from Carman Street to the city limits in Pennsauken.

Boyd Street acquired a very bad reputation in the late 1980s and all through the 1990s as part of the open-air drug market known as “the Alley,” which centered on the alley one end of which was on Bank Street between Morse Street and Boyd Streets.

Bandits Take Car, Use It in Holdup

Camden Courier-Post —

Three masked men, one with a nickel-plated revolver, held up Edward Rosenfeld, wholesale grocer, as he was backing his car into the garage in the rear of his home, 308 Rand street, last night. They took $12 from his pockets, forced him out of his new machine and drove it away.

Rosenfeld told police the bandits had handkerchief-type masks, but appeared youthful, of medium height.

A short time before two men similarly masked, one also brandishing a nickel-plated revolver, approached Sidney Bauman, of 272 Boyd street, a block distant from the Rosenfeld house as he was putting his car into his garage.

“They told me it was a stickup,” Bauman reported to police, “but I gave them an argument and they turned away and beat it. One was wearing a cap and one a hat. It was hard to get an accurate description in the dark, but they seemed youngish and about five feet five or six.”

At 1:00 AM today a car answering the description of the one stolen from Rosenfeld was used by masked men who held up Edward Heaton, 824 Woodland Avenue, a bus driver, as he was turning in his receipts at the Newton avenue car barn of Public Service.

There were four men in the machine, Heaton told police. Two jumped out, each handkerchief masked and with a revolver, and stood on either side of him. He was carrying a tin box, in which were his change carrier and other articles, but no money. He had placed the receipts in his pockets. The men grabbed the tin box and jumped back into the car, which sped away.

At about the same time two Negro men wearing masks, one with a gun, entered a taproom at 673 Ferry Avenue. Philip Knast, the proprietor, was behind the counter and there were four customers in the place. The masked men moved quickly toward Knast and told him “This is a stick-up.”

He dodged behind the bar and escaped into a room in the rear. One of the bandits then went behind the bar and rifled the cash register, getting between $5 and $6, Knast told police. They fled, apparently on foot.

Memory of 274 Boyd Street

I lived at 274 Boyd Street in Camden from sometime in the late 1930s until 1950, when my brother Bernard and I moved to New York City and our father, Jack L. Freedman, moved to Los Angeles. Our mother, Reba, had died in 1945.

Previous to that, we had lived at 243 Morse Street for a short period beginning in 1937.

Both Bernard and I went to Cramer School and Woodrow Wilson High. I graduated from Wilson in June 1941 as valedictorian; my brother five years later.

Bernard now lives in Los Angeles with his wife. They have two daughters and two grandchildren. In 1972 I married Dr. Sheppard Siegal; we separated in 1974 and he died in the ’80s.

Jobless Men Aid Police to Trap Suspects

Camden Courier-Post —

Surround House in East Camden and Prevent Escape of Two

Surrounding a vacant house at 331 Boyd Street which two alleged thieves had entered, a group of unemployed men yesterday cut off every avenue of escape until police arrived.

The men, who were found hiding in a second floor closet, police said, gave their names as Barney Runyon, 26, and William Newcomb, 22, both of 2301 Mickle Street.

A telephone call to the home of Patrolman Earl Stopfer, of 226 Boyd Street, by a resident in the vicinity of the vacant house, informed Mrs. Stopfer that two men were in the house. With her husband on desk duty at city hall, Mrs. Stopfer went to the home of Lieutenant Nathan Petit, 320 Boyd Street, but he was out. She then sent a group of unemployed men working on community gardens in the rear of her home to the scene and telephoned police.

The unemployed men were circled about the house when a patrol crew, under Patrolman George Getley arrived. The two men already had dismantled plumbing fixtures, Getley said. They were committed in default of $500 bail each for a hearing in police court this morning.

Work Started on 8 Homes In Baird Blvd. Development - Camden Courier-Post, June 19, 1939

Several Sold Before Ground Is Broken; 300 Dwellings Planned In Area With Small Single Residences to Be Built Soon

Ground was broken last week for a second unit of new homes being built by Forest Hill Homes, Inc., along Baird boulevard in the 2400 block between Boyd and Morse streets. There are to be eight homes in the unit now to be constructed and several of these have already been sold before construction was begun.

The homes have been approved by the Federal Housing Administration, which means it is possible for home-buyers to purchase these new homes with a very small down payment and monthly charges like rent.

The Forest Hill Homes organization plans to build over 300 homes in this vicinity. In the near future small single homes will be built.

The section in which these new homes are being built is considered to be the choicest residential section in Camden, and a number of Camden’s leading citizens reside nearby. The new homes are located three blocks north of Bridge boulevard, along Baird boulevard, which is 110 feet wide with shade trees on each side and a landscaped grass plot in the center. Stores, schools and churches are close by and the center of Camden is five minutes distant by any one of three bus lines.

The homes contain the latest features which provide comfort, convenience, beauty and economy. Each house is set back 50 feet from the street on a landscaped lot. There is an open cement plaza in front. Each home is on a lot 20 feet wide by 100 feet deep. They are built of all masonry and steel in English, Norman and Colonial architectures.

There is an arched vestibule entrance, large living room with built-in curio cabinets, dining room with an arched entrance and a crystal chandelier, “Efficiency” kitchen with a double drainboard sink, specially designed cabinets, table top gas range, inlaid linoleum cemented on a felt base, exhaust fan for kitchen ventilation. A finished recreation room is in the basement, laundry room, oil burner and an automatic gas water heater, masonry garage.

A Colonial staircase leads from the living room to the second floor, where there are three full-sized bedrooms, two colored tile baths with showers, one stall shower with a glass door. There are nine closets in the home, 52 electric outlets, four inches of Johns-Manville rock wool insulation, air conditioning, copper piping, spouts and flashings, 100 percent weather-stripped and caulked, built-in radio aerial, leaded glass window in front door, parquette floors on first floor, hardwood floors on second floor.
