History and description

[edit]

The one and one-half gambrel roof house built by Samuel Mickle was originally located at the northeast corner of King's Road and Tanner's Lane. By 1820, it was located at 227 Kings Highway. In 1836, it was moved to 23 Ellis Street.[4] In 1965, the Historical Society of Haddonfield moved the house to its current location and now uses it as a library.[5] According to the nomination form, it is thought to be the oldest house in the borough.[4]
