1906 Sanborn map. Linden Street, Penn Street, Maple Street, Cooper Street, 11th Street, 12th Street, Federal street
There are two Twelfth Streets in Camden, one north, one south, that share nothing but a name. North 12th Street ran at one time from Federal Street north to the Cooper River, and had some homes, industries including the Moro Phillips chemical works and the N.Z. Graves varnish factory, a baseball stadium and at its northern end, five frame homes and four boathouses. Highway construction has pretty much obliterated the street; it still appears on maps, between Federal and Penn Streets, but there are no addresses or buildings. A very small section of what was North 12th Street between Penn and Linden Streets appears on maps as Penn Street.
