James Court
James Court was a brief thoroughfare extending east from 114 Point Street, between Pearl and Birch Street. It had only six houses, all on the north side of the street.
James Court appears in the 1863–1864 City Directory and was last listed in the 1919 Camden City Directory; by 1920 it had vanished from official records. Any remaining trace was erased when the Delaware River Bridge was built in the early 1920s.
