Introduction
Lemuel Avenue is located in East Camden and appears to be named for Lemuel Horner, who owned a large tract of land in what became East Camden prior to 1900. The southwest corner of North 31st Street and Lemuel Avenue was once the site of the “starch works,” later occupied by the General Color factory. Following an environmental cleanup in the early 2000s, approximately thirty new homes were constructed by the Housing Authority of the City of Camden as part of its Baldwin’s Run redevelopment plan.
