27th Street
27th Street, also known as Twenty-Seventh Street, runs from the Delaware River, across River Road, Westfield Avenue, and Federal Street. In our time 27th Street is one of the main thoroughfares in Cramer Hill and East Camden, but in earlier times it was not only not called 27th Street, it ran parallel to the street which was referred to as Main Street.
27th Street lies in what prior to 1899 was Stockton Township. Originally called Fulton Street, it ran from the south end of what was then Cramer Park — the north end of which was 29th Street, then the terminus of the Cramer Hill Ferry. Fulton Street, our North 27th Street, runs across River Road past Engine Company 11 of the Camden Fire Department, the Pavonia Reservoir (present-day Veterans Memorial Park) to a point where it intersected with Main Street, which we know today as North 26th Street. North 27th Street continues, passing the Pavonia Railroad Station on the left, and the Camden County Jail on the right at Howell Street, on the spot which has been Paul's Auto Glass since the late 1970s. 27th Street then continues across Westfield Avenue and Federal Street, where the East Camden Firehouse, the home of Engine Company 9 and Hook and Ladder Company 3, was built shortly after Stockton Township became a part of Camden. Once across Federal Street, the road is now South 27th Street, and runs straight through to Marlton Avenue and the border between Camden and Pennsauken Township.
Construction along 27th occurred over a period of approximately 70 years, from about 1875 through about 1945, give or take a few either way. Other twentieth century changes included the demolition of the Pavonia Rail Station and the completion of the "hump" over the railroad tracks, and the completion of Veterans Park several years after the Reservoir walls failed, the resulting flood causing much property damage.
Row homes had been constructed to a point just short of Marlton Avenue by the early 1940s. The construction of the Line Street Apartments at South 27th, Line Street, and Marlton Avenue completed development on 27th Street in the 20th Century.
Probably the most notable person ever to live on 27th Street was football player Mike Rozier, a star running back at Woodrow Wilson High School, in college, and in the professional ranks with the Houston Oilers in the National Football League.
Cramer Hill and East Camden
As shown by the map below, dated 1914, the streets south of Federal Street had not all received their present names; as a matter of fact, very few buildings had been erected on South 27th Street.
