Barnsdale Street

From Pittsburgh Streets
Barnsdale Street
Neighborhood Squirrel Hill North

This street was laid out in 1892 in the Prospect plan of lots, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] A city ordinance in 1900, fixing its location, called it Barnesdale Street, with an E in the middle.[2] The 1908 Hamnett plan to the north spelled it Barnsdale Street,[3] and this was the spelling officially established by another ordinance in 1910.[4]
