What was Rosemont before it was named "Rosemont"?
Although the development of Rosemont started in 1908, there are about a half-dozen houses in the neighborhood of earlier pedigree – primarily on or near King Street, which was the historic “Leesburg Turnpike.”
403 West Masonic View Avenue was built about 1850 and long was the farmhouse of the Hohenstein family; it can be seen on an 1862 Civil War map.
2525 King Street was built about 1819 and is known as “Eastern View”; see attached for a history of the house and property which was provided in connection with an open house in 1938, when it was already historic.
