St. Clair Terrace (1891–1910)

The rectangle that is today bounded by Sedgwick Street, California Avenue, A Street, and Union Dale Cemetery was surveyed as "out lots" numbered 243 and 244 in the 1787 survey of the "Reserve Tract" by David Redick. Each of these out lots was a square 40 perches (660 feet) on a side, containing 10 acres. They were sold at auction in 1788 to Charles Wilkins and John Irwin.[1][2][3][4]:2–3 In 1872 these out lots, still undeveloped, were owned by the estate of William Robinson, Jr., and a Kirkpatrick (see General Robinson Street and Kirkbride Street).[5][4]:62–63

By 1882 this area had been subdivided into lots and streets had been laid out. The north–south streets, from east to west, were named A Street, B Street, C Street, and D Street.[6][7][8][9] In 1891, D Street was renamed St. Clair Terrace.[10] (The renaming ordinance actually spelled it St. Clare, but a subsequent ordinance less than two months later used the spelling St. Clair.[11] The 1901 and 1907 Hopkins atlases labeled it St. Clair Street.)[8][9] C Street was renamed St. Marks Place a month later.[12]

Allegheny City was annexed into the City of Pittsburgh in 1907. In 1910, over 900 streets were renamed to eliminate duplicates. To avoid confusion with St. Clair Street in East Liberty and Highland Park, St. Clair Terrace was renamed St. Ives Street.[13]
