Origin of name Modification of Viewland

This street was laid out as Landview Avenue in the Viewland plan, recorded in 1893.[1] The plan took its name from Viewland, the estate of the Stewart family, which appears in maps from the nineteenth century. The Stewart residence was south of modern Landview Road, approximately where the Beechwood Place apartments are today.[2][3][4] The name Landview is a modification of Viewland, formed by swapping the syllables.

Landview Avenue was officially named Landview Street by a 1910 city ordinance that established the names of all thoroughfares in Pittsburgh.[5] It was renamed Landview Road in 1956 in response to a petition.[6][7]
