Barton Street

Barton Street, also known as Barton Place, runs for half a block south from 774 Division Street, first appearing in Camden city directories in 1890. Sanborn Maps do not show the street, but do reveal non-residential buildings which were connected to contractor Aaron Ward, who lived at 821 South 8th Street. Satellite photos from the early 2000s indicate that the street now provides access to a church parking lot.
