The Name
Young George Washington once stood along what is now Grandview Avenue and mapped the land and rivers below for the British who lay claim to the forks of the Ohio River.
One More Thing
Just a few blocks from Grandview is Chatham Village, a unique residential garden community that’s been named a National Historic Landmark thanks to its landscaping, architecture and 1930’s experimentation with alternative housing.
