NJDOT spokesman Stephen Schapiro did not respond immediately to a request Friday for comment. His office also has provided no explanation as to why the house was destroyed without a demolition permit from the state Department of Community Affairs but said the transportation department concluded the house was not structurally sound enough to be moved, a contention the society has challenged. The society has said it was promised inspection access to the home prior to any demolition and pending a possible move. However, the department delayed that access several times and then tore the house down less than a day after the society filed a lawsuit trying to block its demolition. The state Historic Preservation Office had deemed the house eligible for the National Register of Historic Places last year, reversing an earlier decision after the society and history professionals challenged as flawed the transportation study of the history and significance.

The state transportation department previously has denied the flawed claim even though the other state agency reversed its decision. The house was owned and occupied by Capt. William Harrison, who commanded the local Colonial militia in the area and fought in the Battle of Gloucester during the Revolutionary War under the Marquis de Lafayette, partially on nearby property the captain also owned. A visible building date of 1764 was emblazoned in brick on an outside wall of the house. Meanwhile, Bellmawr officials have sent copies of correspondence with the state and other documents about the house to the office of Gov.

Chris Christie for what Bellmawr Mayor Frank Filipek said was a review of the circumstances that led to state demolition. The office has avoided comment. One of the concerns is the condition of the artifacts, especially any wooden beams reportedly saved from the house, because it is not known if they are stored outside or inside a bin or otherwise protected. wanted to have the beams dated to see if we could determine if the house was built prior to 1764 as we suspect, possibly as early as the 1720s, but that can only be done if the beams are in good condition and not subject to precipitation or Shinn said. Asupernatural story surrounding the house originated when Glover families subsequently lived there from 1845 to 1921.

Generations of Glovers believed unexplained sounds inside the house that often woke them at night were being made by the ghost of Harrison himself, according to the history book Through Old Highways and Byways of West written in the early 1900s by Camden County historian and author Charles S. Boyer. that the house is gone, maybe he will go haunt the Department of Shinn quipped. the state may literally be haunted by its own Carol Comegno: (856) 486-2473; Artifacts Continued from Page 1A JOE PHOTOGRAPHER Bricks once set in a historic pattern on a Bellmawr house now lie in a heap amid other debris that was once the Hugg-Harrison-Glover House. It was torn down by the state transportation department two weeks ago in an unannounced move to make way for a sound barrier for the new I-295 alignment to the chagrin of historians and officials trying to save it.

Camden County Historical Society is deeply disappointed, disturbed and confused that the New Jersey Department of Transportation has reneged on its promise to turn over some relics of the historic Hugg-Harrison House to SOCIETY TREASURER ROBERT SHINN is based on the real-life streets of Atlantic City.
