The Chew–Powell House is located at 500–502 Good Intent Road in the Blenheim section of Gloucester Township in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. The historic house was built in 1688 by James Whitall. The Chew–Powell–Wallens Burying Ground, next to the house, is considered to be the oldest cemetery in the township, and it reportedly contains the remains of early settlers, soldiers of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars and Leni Lenape Native Americans.[2]
The structure was once well-preserved but now sits in disarray, is privately owned and maintained, currently serves as a private residence. It was listed in the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Historic Preservation Office in 1974,[1] and the National Register of Historic Places three months later on March 27, 1975, for its significance in military history.[3]
