| Description |
The Noble-Seymour-Crippen House in Chicago (1868). Mark Noble, Sr. arrived in Chicago from England in 1831. They lodged with John Kinzie during that winter and lived in a house on the south side of the Chicago River. After failing to organize a Methodist church, he relocated to the northwest in 1833. He acquired a 600 acre estate between the Chicago and Des Plaines Rivers. He built a frame house in what is now the Norwood Park neighborhood in 1834. That house is the left wing of the current estate. Therefore, it is arguably the oldest house in Chicago. In 1868, the same year that the town of Norwood Park was established, it was sold to Thomas Hartley Seymour. As president of the Norwood Land & Building Association, Seymour earned the nickname "the father of Norwood Park". He built the Italianate portion of the house on the right. At the time of his 1915 death, Seymour owned over 30 properties, mostly in Chicago and Cicero. Possession of the house passed to Stuart Crippen. He lived in Evanston and used this house mostly as a summer house until he moved his business (the L. B. Allen Company) to Norwood Park c. 1919. The Crippen family owned the house until it was sold to the Norwood Park Historical Society in 1987. |
