Westmoreland is a historic neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio and is roughly bordered by Dorr Street, Parkside Boulevard, Bancroft Street, and Upton Avenue.

"In March 1986 Westmoreland, located about one half mile from the University of Toledo, was designated a historical district by the United States Department of Interior." "This national designation has helped the neighborhood preserve its unique character."

"The vision of real estate developers William B. Welles and Badger C. Bowen, the neighborhood was named because of its rolling hills that reminded them of the east Virginia county [where] George Washington was born." "Appropriately, the streets were named after other Virginia namesakes, such as Mount Vernon, Richmond, Potomac and Shenandoah."

"It was the home of some of Toledo's most prominent Business men and Industrialists." "Names like Folgers, Spieker, Pinkerton, McKesson, Moburg, Ohlinger, Fructhman all called Westmoreland home." "[The neighborhood] dates back to 1918 when construction began and now has 217 of the original 323 built upon, which allows many green park like areas in the neighborhoods."

The Westmoreland was the private railroad car of Henry Clay Frick. Constructed by the Pullman Company in 1910, the car cost nearly $40,000, and featured a kitchen, pantry, dining room, servant's quarters, two staterooms, and a lavatory. Frick frequently used the car for travel between his residences in New York City, Pittsburgh, and Prides Crossing, Massachusetts, as well for trips to places such as Palm Beach, Florida, and Aiken, South Carolina. The car remained in the Frick family until it was scrapped by Helen Clay Frick in 1965. Photographs of family and friends travelling on the Westmoreland form part of the Frick archive, as do the original construction plans and upholstery fabric samples.
