The Lanneau-Norwood House ("Alta Vista") is a historic house in Greenville, South Carolina, built c. 1877 by Jacob W. Cagle (1832–1910) for capitalist Charles Henry Lanneau II (1834-1913).

After the Civil War, Lanneau, a veteran of Hampton's Legion, first worked as a bookkeeper for Camperdown Mill and then in 1882 organized Huguenot Mill, one of the first steam-powered textile mills in Upstate South Carolina. Perhaps with money inherited by his first wife, Lanneau was able to build a fashionable and unusually grand residence for contemporary Greenville. After a major fire in 1883, Lanneau rebuilt the house, which burned again in the 1890s.
