Norwood Park Chicago

Elaines House on Ardmore Avenue

Built in the nineteen twenties...

Most blocks have alleys cutting through with garages in the back of houses.

From the 2nd Story they saw the Chicago fire of 1871....

Blocks of wide sidewalks and big shade trees....

Generations of Valters have attended school here.

Taft High School - Built in 1939

Many designs and renovations over the years...

Not all are landscaped

A neighborhood where kids still walk the streets house to house for Halloween.

The Neighborhood contains many churches.

House on Avondale where Wally grew up.

Could use some repair

The edge of the neighborhood has shopping within easy walk.

Senior Rest Home

Fire station on Avondale.

Cubs, of course.... Took 108 years.

Two Houses on same narrow lot.

Wait until Next Year.

Neighborhood is adjacent to the commuter train, making it easy to work downtown.

Metra Commuter Station, original station opened in 1907

Taft Students and PE class

Nobel Seymour Crippen House.

Oldest house in Chicago.

Now home to the Norwood Park Historical Society.

Frank Buck (Bring 'Em Back Alive) lived here.

THANKS Elaine & Wally for the tour and the great visit!
