Esplanade Street ran for one block from East North Avenue to Hemlock Street, just west of James Street, on the site of the present Allegheny General Hospital. Several sources, beginning with Margaret Carlin in 1966, include it in lists of North Side streets named in commemoration of the Mexican–American War,[1][2][3] but the specific location or event to which this claim refers is unclear.
