I definitely recognize this historic farmhouse and barn, located at 251 N. Elmwood Rd. Marlton, NJ. It is known as the Evans-Cooper House, circa 1773. I grew up in Marlton and my best friend lived in this house, so I spent a lot of time at this amazingly large and historic home in the 1980’s-90’s sleeping over there quite a few times as well. I experienced residual haunting there too, but nothing negative. Lots of history there.
I was exited to see this old aerial photo of the structures and property from the 1960’s! While it fortunately still stands today and is on the national record of historic homes, it’s my understanding that Evesham Township has owned it for a long time now and has closed all the shutters, erecting a fence around the main house to prevent break-ins. While trying to protect it from vandalism, they have done little to maintain or restore it.
I would love to see the inside of it again someday, hopefully still intact. The architectural history it could teach next generations would be worthwhile, as there are many interesting features inside that tell the story of its long history in remarkable detail.
The angle of this photo is of the back (north side) of the home, with the Savich Farm property line visible in the upper right of the photo (spotty tree line). The open fields in this photo are long overgrown now, so seeing the open farm at this time in history was very neat!

I lived in this home from
1942 to 1952. My parents developed a dairy farm here, and did a lot of restoration work to the house. There was a barn complex with three connecting barns in a “u shaped configuration “ . The west barn is the one remaining in this photo. There also was a milking barn , and another row of barns to the north of the big barn complex.
The pre revolutionary part of the house was the smaller west portion of the house, and the larger home was built in the early/ mid portion of the 1800’s.
I have great memories from the years spent here as a young boy.
Hello Garfield,
What a beautiful home! I imagine maintaining such a large house was a lot of work. Is there a specific memory you would like to share from your time here?
