In
1896 a small group of Norwegian Americans, lead by Dr.
Niles T. Quales, formed the Norwegian Old Peoples Home
Society for the purpose of founding a retirement
residence for elderly Norwegians They purchased a
picturesque hotel on four acres in the newly annexed
Norwood Park area of Chicago. The site, conveniently
located across from the railroad station, was the
perfect place to establish the Norwood Park Home.
Now named Norwood Crossing this award winning facility is open to all ethnic groups,
and offers nostalgic comfort and charm to the Home's more
than 200 residents. Norwood Crossing remains the
focal point of a community that is graced with
spacious homes, large lots and pride in its historical
heritage.
