Historical Note
Frederick H. Graham and Dawn Lee Patrick, authors of Westwood: A 75 Year History, collected a great
deal of research for the publication of their book. The Westwood neighborhood in Muncie, Indiana was
developed in the 1920s during the “building boom” that occurred after World War I. Over the years,
Westwood has been home to a number of affluent and well-known Muncie citizens. The research spans
75 years of Westwood’s history, including businesses and industries, personalities, and the promotion of
the community in newspaper.
Scope and Contents
This collection includes photocopied materials from newspapers and general histories as well as histories
of each lot in the Westwood community, and spans the years 1924-1999. Also included in the collection

materials. PSC 273 contains photographs of Westwood houses. V 224 is a taped interview with Bill
Spurgeon.
