Commerce Street formerly ran between Second Avenue and the Monongahela River. If it still existed today, it would begin at the current site of Heidelberg Materials' concrete plant and run under the Birmingham Bridge to meet Technology Drive.[1]
It was laid out in 1851 by E. D. Gazzam and his wife.[2] It was included in an 1881 ordinance establishing the names of all streets in Pittsburgh.[3] It was vacated by a city ordinance in 1890.[4]
