From Coming to Rosemont:

“Westbury was the county seat and home to some forty thousand residents. The square was dominated by the county courthouse, an imposing building of indigenous limestone in the grand style popular in the late 1800s, with sixty-foot columns flanking the entries at both the north and south sides and ringed with carved figures along the top. The limestone was tarnished with soot and the ravages of age, but the courthouse was still beautiful. It was surrounded on all four sides by a generous lawn and a row of stately oak trees. An old-fashioned bandstand stood on one corner of the lawn.”

“Rows of intricate, architecturally interesting brick buildings surrounded the square that originally must have housed wealthy residents and more recently shops and businesses.”
