Psychiatric hospital's homes

[dogg57]

Imagine if Mayberry had a psychiatric hospital. Or if a psychiatric hospital had a Mayberry.
That's how the "Ancora kids" think of the unusual company town in Camden County they once called home.
In 1955, New Jersey built about 100 single-family rental homes for patient-care, clerical, maintenance, and other workers at its new Ancora Psychiatric Hospital near the facility's main entrance on Spring Garden Road in Winslow Township.

Interesting to read a bit of the history of this area. Thanx for posting. I remember the houses were abandoned, but still standing when we moved to Winslow. The place always seemed a little eerie.
