Maywood Community Association Records.
(Realia)

RG 85 is arranged in the same order it was received by the donors. The material is divided into subgroups by subject. Within each subgroup the series are arranged alphabetically. The material within each file is arranged chronologically. In some files the material remains as it was found, in reverse chronological order.

The material in this collection includes many subject files about neighborhood projects such as the proposal for a homeless shelter, the Mini-Park, Thrifton Hill Park, and the reconstruction of Lorcom Lane. These records show an organization deeply committed to working for what they believed to be the betterment of their community. The collection also contains some working records of the organization such as membership, financial, and meeting records.

The Maywood community is bounded by Lorcom Lane, Lee Highway, Oakland St., and Interstate 66. The initial platting for the neighborhood began in 1909 and consisted of single family homes. The Maywood Community Association organized to " . . . protect and advocate actions and measures to forward the best interests of this area as a residential community." The material within the collection reflects this mission.
