Norwood Park, the Ideal Suburb e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The suburb was originally laid out by the noted landscape gardener for the World's Columbian Exposition. By referring to the map of Norwood, contained in this booklet, it can be readily appreciated that Norwood gets its name from the beautiful and parklike manner in which the streets are laid out. Norwood is one great park. Its streets are one hundred feet wide, and its parkways thirty five feet from lot line to curb. One great attraction is the beautiful trees which line both sides of the streets, and adorn the lawns throughout the suburb. All lots are from fifty to one hundred feet wide, and from two hundred to four hun dred feet deep. The pictures in this pamphlet will give a meagre idea of what the description portrays, both as to streets and residences.
