Berlin in Camden County, New Jersey — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Berlin Hotel
c. 1826
Built by Thomas Wright, the Berlin Hotel is the oldest commercial building on Route 30 from Philadelphia to Atlantic City.
The hotel was used as a stopping point for mule teams, stagecoaches, jitneys, and buses. It was used as a hotel and restaurant until 1997 when it was closed.
The building was moved to this location in 2000 to save it from demolition. It was restored by the efforts of the Long-A-Coming Historical Society.
Erected by Borough of Berlin, New Jersey.
