Westboro is a neighborhood in Topeka, Kansas, generally bounded by Southwest Huntoon Boulevard on the north, Southwest Oakley Avenue on the east, Southwest 17th Street on the south and Southwest Gage Boulevard on the west.[citation needed]

The Westboro Baptist Church, though so named, does not lie within that boundary, but two blocks north of it, on West 12th Street.[1]

Many of the homes in Westboro, built in the 1920s and 1930s, became model homes for the L.F. Garlinghouse Company of Topeka which sold the floor plans via annual catalogs throughout the United States.[2]
