Curran Street was laid out in two widely separated plans subdividing the estate of Phebe A. Phillips, both recorded in 1896.[1][2] Both segments of Currant Street lay along Nine Mile Run, one close to its mouth at the Monongahela River, the other further upstream, by the mouth of Fern Hollow Creek in what is now Frick Park.[3] It seems to have been envisioned that these two portions would eventually be joined. However, the streets and alleys in these plans were never built or opened, and they were all vacated by city ordinances in 1918 and 1926.[4][5]
