Glen Mawr Avenue (until 1910)

This street was laid out as Glen Mawr Avenue in 1891 in the Sheraden Terrace plan[1] and was extended in the Melrose plan two years later.[2]

Esplen Borough, including a short length of Glen Mawr Avenue, was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1906,[3] and Glen Mawr Avenue was officially established as a Pittsburgh street name later that year.[4] Most of Glen Mawr Avenue became part of Pittsburgh when Sheraden Borough was annexed in 1907.[5][6]

The name was changed to Glen Mawr Street, perhaps inadvertently, by a city ordinance in 1910.[7]
