Cohn Alley
Cohn Alley is named after Edward N. Cohn, one of the more important figures in real estate and construction in Camden during the 1880s and 1890s. The alley runs east from Haddon Avenue, between Kaighn and Liberty Streets. Before the city got around to putting a street sign back up in the late 1990s, the alley was known pretty much as "the alley next to the Krazy Discount store." As far as I can tell, there never were any addresses on Cohn Alley. Cohn Alley does not appear in either Mapquest or Microsoft's Expedia mapping service. However, pictures in this case don't lie. See for yourself!

Edward N. Cohn
Edward N. Cohn was born in 1832. On the 1870 U.S. Census, he reported his birthplace as Bohemia, while in the 1880 Census he listed it as Germany. It is likely he was born in a region that is now part of the Czech Republic.
