Housing in Westfield
Westfield's older sections hold large colonials, Victorians, Tudors and foursquares from the 1890s through 1930s, with steep, complex roofs and sizable brick chimneys. Some retain original slate; most have been converted to asphalt shingles. Post-war capes, splits and ranches fill the outer neighborhoods, and newer teardown rebuilds appear throughout. Downtown and the commercial strips carry flat and low-slope roofs on mixed-use and retail buildings.
Weather and exposure
Westfield is relatively flat with a heavy mature tree canopy, so wind exposure is moderate but shade, debris and moss are constant. North-facing roof planes under trees hold snow and form ice dams in cold stretches. Nor'easters bring wind-driven rain that tests old flashing on dormers and chimneys, and summer thunderstorms drop limbs. Freeze-thaw works steadily on the town's older masonry.
