This structure documents the evolution of Norwood Park, from an
independent farm community to a residential neighborhood of Chicago. The
small south wing, which is believed to be the city's oldest surviving
building, had its origins as the home of Mark Noble, one of the area's
first European settlers. An Italianate-style addition and other
alterations were made by Thomas Seymour, the principal developer of
Norwood Park, who lived there from 1868 to 1915. Later modifications
were made by the Stuart Crippen family. |
