"The Victorian building at the northeast corner of Kings Highway and Haddon Avenue was built after the Civil War as a residence and drug store by the Isaac Braddock family," according to Katherine M. Tassini of the Historical Society of Haddonfield. "When Dr. Charles S. Braddock Jr. went off to Siam to serve as physician to the King in 1902, his father, Charles S. Braddock, moved his hardware store to this location until he sold the business to James Lamont in 1909. The two poplar trees, one with two large historical signs hanging from it, marked the entrance to the Friends Cemetery from Kings Highway." Credit provided

I do love seeing these old photos week-after-week and appreciate Katherine M. Tassini sharing her knowledge of Haddonfield's past. I think people would find it interesting if you posted then and now pictures side-by-side of the buildings that still exist in these photos.
