Covering roughly 90 acres, it contains 20 blocks, 261 lots and 215 homes laid out along curving streets, with a broad boulevard, Mt. Vernon Avenue, running through the middle. Large lots, uniform setbacks of 40 to 60 feet, sidewalks, buried or unobtrusive power lines and abundant landscaping give it an informal but carefully planned character. Most houses went up in the 1920s and 1930s, with the first built in 1917-19 for developer William Welles. They are designed in Colonial, English cottage, Tudor, French, Italian and Spanish revival styles, often with slate or tile roofs, stone details and finely crafted interiors. About a quarter are later minimal traditional houses from the 1940s and 1950s. Restrictions administered by the Westmoreland Association have kept cost, setback and use consistent, so newer homes blend with the original ones. This cohesive collection of period revival architecture and landscape planning is the basis for its listing.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"William Welles (developer and original owner of the first house, 2005 Mt.
