Communities evolve through a relentless, neverending pattern of change and growth. In that process many things are forever lost. Buildings burn down or are demolished, open space is developed, transportation patterns change, lifestyles are altered. Haddonfield, one of the oldest towns in Southern New Jersey, has inevitably experienced considerable change and loss. Over the years, there have been many Haddonfields, far different from the Haddonfield we see today. The purpose of Lost Haddonfield is to bring to the reader an awareness of the ways in which Haddonfield has changed over the course of its long history and to give some insight into the factors which may have contributed to those changes. In selecting material for this book we have used the term “lost” in a broad sense. Many of the buildings and lifestyles represented are completely gone. A few buildings which have been included still exist, altered or modified to such an extent, however, that we have considered them “lost.” Some places we wished to include in this book are absent because we were unable to locate any surviving photographs. This book also marked the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Historical Society of Haddonfield, which continues to collect, preserve, and celebrate the rich heritage of Haddonfield.
