West Park (Stowe Township), Pennsylvania: Broadway Business District

West Park is a Pittsburgh streetcar suburb built up following the turn of the century, in response to the growing need for more housing in the vicinity of McKees Rocks. West Park possesses an intact circa 1910s-1920s business district and residential section. Many of the streets are paved with the same yellow brick that typifies the construction of housing and commercial buildings in the area. Housing is a mix of detached brick and frame dwellings, and row-houses, most of which have front porches.

I currently live in West Park, having purchased my house there in 2009, and it has been a pleasant neighborhood to call home. I recently nominated the West Park business district as a PHLF Historic District. Hopefully, we will soon be able to refer to West Park as the "West Park Historic District."
