Learn About Westerleigh

Westerleigh began its history in the late 1800s as a national headquarters for the Prohibition movement, originally founded as a summer resort known as "Prohibition Park." This unique origin story shaped the neighborhood’s layout, resulting in wide, tree-lined streets named after prominent figures and states involved in the movement. As the area transitioned into a year-round residential enclave, it became renowned for its high concentration of beautifully preserved early 20th-century architecture, including stately Victorians, grand Colonials, and charming Craftsman bungalows that reflect a deep pride of ownership.
