This bungalow style house was built in 1922 by Ollie Norwood, who later went on to build the historic Norwood Tower in downtown Austin. The city purchased the Norwood Estate in 1985 but no one took an interest in it so it has slowly been deteriorating due to lack of maintenance. The Norwood Posse was formed in April 2008 to do what the city has not done: restore the house and make it a usable park facility. All ideas and help is appreciated as this is an all volunteer project. For more info go to www.restorenorwood.org & www.atxedition.tv/blogs/norwoodestate
