Dudley Street

November 7, 2026 · 14 min read · Streets

Dudley Street in East Camden was named for Thomas Haines Dudley, lawyer and diplomat. Dudley’s estate comprised the park and much of the land surrounding the present Dudley Grange Park. Thomas H. Dudley’s home lay at the center of the park, and was used as a library for many years. Shortly after the Camden Free Public Library abandoned the building, it was destroyed in a fire in 1980. South Dudley Street was known as Alberta Street until the early 1920s, when it was renamed.

At the south end of Dudley Street, the road starts at Fremont Avenue, with the Alberta Woods Park on the left and the Francis X. McGraw Elementary School on the right. Traveling north on Dudley Street, in the next block one finds the Washington Park Apartments to the left and East Camden Middle School to the right.

Dudley Street continues for several blocks, with homes built approximately 100 years ago on the right-hand side, until the road reaches Federal Street.

In the next block of Dudley Street, the unit block of North Dudley, which lies between Federal Street and Westfield Avenue, one sees the Dudley Park Homes, one block of townhouses built along the west side of Dudley Street, opposite Dudley Grange Park. At the end of the block, on the left, at the corner of Dudley Street and Westfield Avenue, is St. Wilfrid’s Episcopal Church. Dudley Street continues for two blocks on the other side of Westfield Avenue, with some homes built around 1890, until the road is blocked by the railroad tracks at Morrison Street.

When the Westfield Acres housing project was completed in 1938 on the other side of the railroad tracks, along Westfield Avenue between Rosedale Street and Beideman Avenue, one of the interior streets within the project was named Dudley Street. Addresses stating the 300 and 400 blocks of Dudley Street indicate apartments and Housing Authority of the City of Camden offices or facilities in these two blocks. The Westfield Acres project was demolished and rebuilt, with residents first moving in during 2003, the new neighborhood christened as Baldwin’s Run.

Dudley Grange

The Library at Dudley Grange, 1928

Dudley Grange Park is located at Federal and Dudley Streets in East Camden. The park is on the remainder of the Thomas H. Dudley estate. The Dudley house was the home of the East Camden branch of the Camden Free Public Library up until the late 1970s. Neglect on the part of city government resulted in the destruction of this historic building by fire in August of 1980.

July 1940 — Westfield Acres

In the summer of 1940, Westfield Acres Manager Meyer Wessel arranged to have showers installed in the outdoor play area so the younger children of the Acres could cool off and wade, at a total price of $45.02… the pictures below give evidence to the success of this idea.

I grew up at 164 South Dudley Street in a row home on the same block as McGraw school. I also worked at the Dudley Grange library for a year when I was in high school at Woodrow Wilson. I loved that place; the library was a sanctuary to me. When I left New Jersey, I visited the site of the burnt remains of the building and sobbed for a long time…

…I also knew the family that lived in the home featured on this page that burnt down. The gentleman who owned the house offered a vacation Bible school that was wildly popular with kids and parents in the summertime. I remember seeing long tables set up in the side yard filled with kids.
