===New high school and city hall=== Enrollment at Norwood High School continued to grow at a rapid pace and the student population eventually outgrew the first high school. In 1914, a new high school was constructed. The original high school on Allison Street was converted into an elementary school. Norwood's current city hall, the [[Norwood Municipal Building]], was designed by [[John Scudder Adkins]], who was also the architect for the Norwood Public Library building. It opened in 1916, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.<ref name="Historical Dates for Norwood, Ohio. 1910s" /> The old Allison High School building to burnt down in 1917.
