Why a Community House?
In October 1923, Eldridge Reeves Johnson, an “unknown donor,” offered what eventually became $250,000 to build a community center in Moorestown.
The Community House officially opened its doors to the public on April 11, 1926, with a week-long series of events, including; Community Players Night with selections by the Moorestown Orchestra, a Teenage Tea for the girls of Moorestown, a concert by the Moorestown Community Chorus, and an exhibition match by the University of Pennsylvania Wrestling Team.
