Wilson Building, building in Camden, New Jersey, United States
The Wilson Building is a twelve-story office structure built in 1926 in Camden, New Jersey, located at the corner of Cooper Street and Broadway. The structure displays early twentieth-century features with large windows and brickwork that contribute to the working character of the business district.
The building was constructed in 1926 by John O. Wilson and Joseph Bernhard with substantial investment to house offices and retail spaces. In the late 1920s, it was sold to the West Jersey Trust Company, who renamed it and established it as a key financial building.
The building takes its name from its original owners and reflects Camden's commercial identity in the 1920s. As a workplace for lawyers, judges, and business owners, it was a hub of urban activity and remains a gathering point for people working downtown today.
The building sits centrally on a busy corner and is easy to reach, whether by foot or public transit. The wide hallways and fast elevators make navigation between floors simple, and its location allows easy walking access to other downtown areas.
In the 1990s, the building sat vacant while facing potential demolition until its national historic status protected it from removal. A New York firm later acquired it with plans to redevelop the space, eventually housing Rowan University alongside other businesses.
