Neighborhood Sheraden
Ash Street (until 1908)
Portion Northeast of Motor Street
Ashlyn Avenue (until 1908)
Portion Southwest of Motor Street

The part of this street northeast of Motor Street was laid out as Ash Street in 1892 in the Sheraden Land & Improvement Company's addition to the Sheraden Terrace plan.[1] It was extended as Ashlyn Avenue in the 1901 Keystone plan.[2]

Sheraden Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907,[3] and the following year a city ordinance combined Ash Street and Ashlyn Avenue into Ashlyn Street.[4] (There was another Ash Street in Brighton Heights, which no longer exists.)
