Altaview Street (1927–1933)

This street appears as Pennsylvania Avenue in the 1905 Hopkins atlas as part of the Westwood Plan,[1] laid out by Clifford B. Harmon.[2][3] It was named for the University of Pennsylvania. Nearly all of the avenues in this plan were originally named for colleges and universities;[4] in addition to Pennsylvania Avenue, the plan included the following:[1]

In 1927, after the annexation of Westwood into the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Avenue was renamed Altaview Street to fix the duplication with Pennsylvania Avenue on the North Side.[5][6] It was renamed again to Warriors Road in 1933.[7]

The southernmost part of Warriors Road within Pittsburgh city limits, from Elmdale Road to Arnold Acres Drive, was originally an unnamed alley; it was made part of Warriors Road in 1938.[3]
