Telfair Avenue (1907–1909)

This street appears at the eastern edge of several plans of lots laid out in 1889, though these plans do not give it a name.[1][2][3][4] An adjacent plan of lots in Knoxville, laid out in 1899 and redrawn in 1907, shows a segment of the street at its western edge, though again with no name.[5]

In 1900, a plan of lots laid out by Frank I. Gosser gave the name Margaret Street to a southern portion of this street, further south than the street extends today.[6] By 1905 the name seems to have been applied to the full length of the street.[7] Alternatively, the street (or perhaps just the northern part of it) may have been called Beltzhoover Street[8] since it was in the same line as Beltzhoover Avenue to the north.

In 1907, a West Liberty Borough ordinance changed both Beltzhoover Street and Margaret Street to Telfair Avenue.[8]

West Liberty Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1908,[9] and the following year a Pittsburgh city ordinance changed the name again to Tarragonna Street.[10]
