On the left side of this lane there once stood three old barns that once were horse and carriage shelters in the long ago.  These were built by John Clement who had erected the three brick buildings next to the Indian King for his three daughters.  A walkway form the rear yards of these houses provided access to the barns and, of course, the lane led up to the Main street.  Years later the largest barn housed the last black smith shop ever to exist in Haddonfield.

Elmer Dennison was a kindly man who permitted the neighborhood boys to be around the shop, and they would pump the bellows for him to keep the fire glowing while he was heating the horseshoes to shape on a horse's hooves.  Everyday the youngsters would get a horseshoe nail red hot, and wrap it around an iron rod to make a finger ring which they always enjoyed doing.  The farmers came to town and would leave their horses to be shod while they shopped.  Elmer was always busy as he also repaired wagons and farm tools.

Time elapsed, and soon practically the only horses around were a few pets, and Elmer's business soon became a memory.

The barns eventually were torn down and a parking lot there appears to always have existed on the lane.
