Title A name given to the resource Institute’s Right in Norse Tower Site Subject The topic of the resource Norse Tower Description An account of the resource Local historical society director U. Waldo Cutler argues his case for not keeping the Norse Tower. At the time, rumors had all but been confirmed the Norse Tower’s removal and replacement with the Rogers-Kennedy Memorial monument. The town had already lost Institute Park bridge in 1922 and many were afraid the Norse Tower would be next. The memorial had to be placed within one mile of the city town hall. The Norse Tower’s location fit that requirement perfectly and many thought of it as a way of hitting two birds with one stone. The Recreation Commission had already declared the tower impossible to make safe without a complete restructuring. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource U.

Title A name given to the resource Institute Park tower and Riley house at corner of West and Salisbury Streets #2 Subject The topic of the resource Norse Tower Description An account of the resource The Norse Tower stood at the corner of West and Salisbury street. The lack of tree cover in Institute park helped it tower over the surrounding area. A landmark quite difficult to ignore. While the date of the photograph is unknown, the presence of Institute Park bridge in the background confirms it was taken before 1922. Additionally, the lack of fencing around the tower means it was most likely taken before the tower was declared unsafe in 1907.
