Beverley Square West
In 1898, architect Thomas Benton Ackerson had a dream to found a community of
large spacious houses, no two alike, with lawns, stained glass windows and fireplaces.
He purchased Catherine Lott’s farm and named it Beverley Square West. The
development originally consisted of about 125 free-standing homes, several of
which were later torn down when Public School 139 was expanded.
The Beverly Square West Neighborhood Association recently celebrated its 100th
Anniversary with a big bash. Beverley Square West enjoys a strong sense of community
and plans weekly walks throughout the neighborhood, modeled after Italian neighborhood
walks.
