Langham Avenue is in Parkside, running south from Walnut Street to Baird Avenue, two blocks east of Haddon Avenue. In the years following World War I, many prominent members of Camden's Jewish community lived on Langham, although the street was never, as popular rumor states, entirely Jewish. This had largely ceased to be the case by the end of the 1950s.

My mother lived at this address in high school, and I just came across a listing of her graduation, in a Temple University yearbook, class of 1950:

1000 & 1100 Block Memories
Joe Santosuosso [1022 Langham] was one of my playmates. We used to sneak drinks of his Dad's sour red wine. Marvin Ruttenberg's father's ceremonial wine was delicious, and we would sneak down his cellar [1417 Park Boulevard] and take a swig. It tasted better than anything Manischevitz ever made!
Johnny Furer [1124 Langham] was my classmate in Parkside School. He was a nice gentle fellow. I think of them often on Memorial Day.
I knew a lot of people in the 1000 block of Langham, but not the house numbers. Eddie Saline [1044 Langham], Frankie Conover, Betty Zeidman, and many more. Mr. Holtzman had the grocery store at 1001 when I was small, and my grandmother would give me a note and handful of change to walk down and buy something she needed.
My Rabbi friend, who is a Chaplain at our VA hospital down here, had a copy of a recent JWV news that I read. He was touched when I showed him the Furer-Barag post news and told him about John. Small world.
