Burrows Street, a north–south street in the location of the easternmost part of the modern street, appears in Pittsburgh maps from the 1850s.[1][2]
The majority of the curved modern street was laid out in 1940 as part of Terrace Village Unit 2, a project of the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh.[3]
