Excerpt from Norwood Park, the Ideal Suburb: Its Residents and Their HomesThe 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
