The Norwood World War Memorial was once a tall pedestal monument topped by a granite eagle, with a bronze honor roll plaque honoring residents who fought in WWI. It sat in a small traffic circle in front of the Eastside Train Station. When the station closed in the 1950s or 60s, the eagle was moved to its present location, which at that time, was the Norwood municipal building. (It is now the Fire Department.) The pedestal & honor roll plaque have been lost.
(See vintage postcard image in Pictures Gallery for original monument image.)
Today, the eagle sits on a small granite pedestal, low to the ground, on the lawn of the Norwood Fire Department. Its wings are outstretched, one talon resting on top of an American flag shield. A small, recent plaque mounted on the pedestal front is in memory of two soldiers, presumably from Norwood, one from WWI & one from WWII.

Between 1923 and 1930 Harvey W. Seeds American Legion Post 29 erected a World War memorial at Woodlawn Park Cemetery. It depicts a sailor, soldier, marine and an Army nurse. The sculptor was Robert Paul Goldie. He used local military personnel as models. Unfortunately the monument has been a frequent target by vandals. In 2010 Felix Sosa-Camejo American Legion Post 346 completed a major restoration, stripping off decades of paint and replacing missing limbs. These pictures were taken on September 1, 2013, still looking great.
