Introduction
Crestmont Avenue, also known as Crestmont Street and Crestmont Terrace, is a short street that runs west from Haddon Avenue between Whitman Avenue and Euclid Avenue to its termination at Pershing Street. The street was laid out in 1919.
Gas stations stood on the northwest and southwest corners of Crestmont and Haddon Avenue for decades. The buildings are still standing, one at 1481 Haddon Avenue as a used car lot, the other at 1495 Haddon, an old Tydol Oil Company “cottage style” station was being used as an auto repair shop as late as 2010. At 1468 Crestmont Avenue is the one single-family home on the south side of the street. At 1450 a one-story industrial building stands, and at 1420 a large two-story factory that had been the S. Twitchell Company’s food flavoring and food colorings plant still stands.
