Camden Streets - Mechanic Street

MECHANIC STREET lays two blocks south of, and originally ran parallel to Kaighn Avenue from Front Street to Haddon Avenue, with a gap between 7th and 8th Streets. Mechanic Street's geography in the form of streets and railroads that cross its path dictated that there two different section of Mechanic Street, with their own particular makeup and character. Mechanic Street is one of the older streets in Camden, appearing in the 1ist of streets appearing in the 1850 Camden City Directory.

Mechanic Street today starts at Ferry Avenue. The area west of Sixth Street had been laid out, and had many residences and a few businesses on it by the mid 1880s. The 1890-1891 Camden City Directory shows a few business in the 1200 block of Mechanic, between Louis Street and Haddon Avenue, but apparently all the development of Mechanic Street between the 7th and Louis Streets occurred after 1891.

This somewhat late start contributed the way Mechanic Street turned out in the years that followed. In the area between Broadway and Front Street, with its older homes no one ethnic group predominated. East of 8th street was a different story.

In the years between 1890 and 1920, a wave of immigrants came to Camden to seek their fortunes in the factories and shops of Camden, to live in freedom, and to raise their children to be Americans, with rights and opportunities for advancement that never existed in the "old country". Most numerous of the new arrivals were Italian, Polish, and Jewish immigrants, although not to be forgotten were sizable communities of Ukrainians, Croats, Armenians, Greeks, and Canadians- mostly from the province of Newfoundland, who came to work in Camden's shipyards.

The Polish community initially seems to have settled on an area around Chestnut and Louis Streets. Once organized, the deeply religious Poles came organized, raise funds, and erected their own church, St. Joseph Catholic Church, at 10th and Mechanic Streets. The church served as a magnet for the community, and Polish families flocked to the new Whitman and Liberty Park neighborhoods that sprang up early in the 20th century between 8th Street and Haddon Avenue.

Mechanic Street maintained its Polish flavor for many years, and St. Joseph Church remains the spiritual home of South Jersey's Polish community. Changes in Camden's ethnic makeup have changed the atmosphere along this section of Mechanic Street, although there still remain a few Polish families in 2004.

Besides St. Joseph Church, Mechanic Street is probably known for a couple of bars that are on or are adjacent to it. At 1050 Mechanic a now vacant building housed a bar for almost 50 years, last known as the Bullpen. For many years Revallo's Cafe stood at the corner of Mechanic and Louis Streets, and 400 Mechanic housed a bar for about 80 years.

Going back to Mechanic Street west of 7th, much of it consists of vacant lots where houses once stood. The riots of 1967 and 1971 doomed many of the business, the aging housing stock decayed, and most of what was fell to the bulldozer. There are still homes on Mechanic west of Broadway, but little else of consequence save for a few mostly-empty industrial buildings remains. There are still are a few industrial businesses open on Mechanic Street by Ferry Avenue in 2004.

Do you have an Mechanic Street memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.

My grandparents lived on opposite side of the street [from 439]. I don't know about whole block but from at least middle of even number side of the street to Broadway they were built with indoor plumbing. I don't doubt at all that the other side of the street had outhouses as you could see they were older. The row-houses on the even side were very large inside. Not townhouses like Linden Street or Pearl, but still large. My grandparents house on Mechanic had a full size stove, old upright washing machine, full size double stationery tubs, old style furnace converted to oil, and you could still hold a party down there. They even at one point had a large table to eat on. Hell the the old coal bin was as big as some peoples living rooms! John Ciafrani	442 Mechanic Street

Man Stabbed, Dies CAMDEN — A Philadelphia man was found stabbed to death in Camden’s Bergen Square neighborhood on Tuesday night, authorities said Wednesday. Officers found Brian Holden, 32, suffering from multiple stab wounds at about 10:05 p.m. in an abandoned property on the 500 block of Mechanic Street, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office. Holden died at Cooper Hospital in Camden about forty minutes later, authorities said. No information about a motive or suspects was released on Wednesday. Holden’s death adds to an already violent stretch for the city that has now seen six murders and multiple shootings in the past two weeks. The killing is No. 36 for the year, including a police-related shooting. There were 39 homicides all of last year. The prosecutor’s office on Wednesday also announced that a 22-year-old Camden man was shot and injured at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday at 8th Street and Newton Avenue. The man was taken to Cooper for multiple gunshot wounds. The incidents are not believed to be related.

The family lived here through the beginning of 1906. They subsequently moved around the corner, to 1136 Liberty Street. The Bicking family remains on Liberty Street today, the last of the original families on their block. "My father told me the wood house nearly collapsed now was once a coal office located down town Camden then moved to Mechanic Street. My grandfather's siblings lived in the house which was expanded to two floors. For almost all my childhood years it was rented out to one family, the Taylors. I also lived in this house for 15 years in my mid 30's to 40's. Their was a family named Busch in 1135 Mechanic St. for most of my childhood into my mid 30's when they moved."

JURY AWARDS $5150 IN CRASH KILLING BOY Jury Only 40 Minutes in Deciding Against Merchantville Car Owner Award of $5150 was made yesterday by a Circuit Court jury here in disposing of a $70,000 suit against William W. Clark, of Merchantville. The verdict, returned after 40 minutes' deliberation, was given Adam Jusiak, of 1177 Mechanic street, for the death of one son and injuries to another. The case, heard before Judge Henry H. Eldredge, developed a question of ownership of the automobile which struck the Jusiak boys February 23, on Moorestown Pike, Pennsauken Township. Boleslaw Jusiak, 11, was killed, and his brother, Anthony, 13, suffered severe injuries. Named defendants with Clark were Herbert Marshall, of Forty-second and Federal Streets, and Gordon Cooper, trading as Cooper's Chevrolet Company, Park Avenue and Cooper Street, Pennsauken. Marshall was said to have been driving the car from the Cooper agency to the Clark Motor Company, Hamilton and Myrtle Avenues, Merchantville. Attorneys for the Cooper firm moved for relief from responsibility in the use, contending the Clark company was legal owner. The dead boy was one of a family of 10. His death occurred when he and his brother were hauling a toy express wagon over the Moorestown Pike between Haddonfield Road and Pennsauken Creek. The jury's verdict set $5000 for death of the boy and allowed $150 for injuries to the other child.	1177 Mechanic Street early 1930s- late 1940s Adam Jusiak Camden Courier-Post June 23, 1933
