Westbury From Above

Author(s): Richard R. Panchyk
$23.99
DESCRIPTION
Westbury From Above offers a fascinating new look at the history of this venerable central Nassau County locale. Stunning aerial images offer new perspective and context that help tell the story of Westbury’s settlement and continued growth over the centuries.

Complemented by carefully selected vintage images, these photos from above provide interesting overviews of some of the key places and moments in Westbury’s development, tracing its transformation from a sleepy Quaker village to the bustling beneficiary of the burgeoning Gold Coast estates just to the north.

This book is a celebration of both Westbury’s colorful past and its thriving, diverse present.
