The West Park Historical
Society TRIBUTE TO
PURITAS SPRINGS PARK
Sunday, 8 June 2008 at the 100th Bomb Group Restaurant,
20920 Brookpark Rd. Free Admission.
Click here for details.
The purpose of this site is to provide an informal
site concerning the history of the area and to share personal memories of the
neighborhood. The West Park community, as considered here, consists of four neighborhoods located
west of West 117th Street including the Jefferson, Kamm's Corners, Riverside and
Puritas-Longmead areas. This approximates the original composition of the
neighborhood.
This site is not intended to serve as a neighborhood
directory but to be simply a place to share some of some of its history,
images and memories. This
site
is not affiliated with any neighborhood
organization.
Please remember
that this site predates and is completely independent of the West
Park Historical Society. Visit their webpage at
West Park History.org
and consider giving the West Park Historical Society your support.
If you have memories
and photos of your experiences in the West Park neighborhood
that you would like to share please
feel free to Email
Charles Chaney and Gary Swilik.
("Click" the names to send an email.) If you have a website which you think would be relevant please
feel free to let us know about it so we can provide a link to it
on this site.
