Morrison Street, located in East Camden, originally extended from North 27th Street to the railroad tracks just past Dudley Street. When the 1906 Sanborn Map was published, there were no houses or businesses in the 2700 and 2800 blocks of Morrison Street. In the 2900 block, there were four wood-framed buildings and an old, vacant wooden church. The 3000 block contained five wood-framed buildings.
By 1923, only two homes remained in the 2900 block and four in the 3000 block. These same buildings were still standing in 1947. At some point, the 2700 and 2800 blocks of Morrison Street were removed. By the 1980s, the last two homes in the 2900 block were gone. Since this block had never been paved, it existed in name only.
Over time, nearly all of the homes on Morrison Street disappeared. By 2012, only two houses—3021 and 3025 Morrison Street—remained, and both were still occupied.
