About Westerleigh
Westerleigh grew from Prohibition Park, 25 acres bought by a temperance group in 1877, and many streets are named for leaders of the Prohibition movement.
Westerleigh sits on high ground, and Ingram Woods on its southern side near the Staten Island Expressway is a preserved remnant of an older forest.
The Peter Houseman House in Westerleigh was listed on the National Register in 1982.
What This Means for Your Westerleigh Chimney
Winters are hard on masonry
Cold winters with many freeze and thaw cycles work water into brick and mortar every year. Keep the chimney swept and inspected once a year, keep a cap on top, and fix small cracks before they spread. Read: How Often Should a Chimney Be Swept?
