Riley Street
Riley Street ran south from 419 Washington Street for one block to Berkley Street. It featured ten two-story brick rowhouses, five on each side, numbered 431 to 440. The lot of the E. A. Stevens School backed against the houses on the east side of Riley Street. Camden City Directories list residents on Riley Street as far back as 1875.
By 1947, only four houses remained. The 1969 New Jersey Bell Telephone Directory shows one house, 436 Riley Street, still occupied, but the occupant had moved by October 1970. It is possible that the last house on Riley Street was destroyed during the rioting of 1969.
