Laverock is a small unincorporated community that is located in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Laverock shares its Zip Code with Glenside, Pennsylvania and is a closed-in suburb of Philadelphia.

Few were built after the 1929 onset of the Great Depression, and the area remained largely undeveloped until after World War II.

Arthur E. Newbold built a Colonial-Revival mansion and estate, "Farleigh," on the north side of Willow Grove Avenue in 1895.

In an influential review in The New Republic titled "The Architecture of Escape," critic Lewis Mumford denounced "Laverock Farm" and buildings like it as "architectural anaesthesia" and "hocus-pocus":The critical weakness of the romantic architect is that he is employed in creating an environment into which people may escape from a sordid workaday world, whereas the real problem of architecture is to remake the workaday world so that people will not wish to escape from it.
