Grape Street was first laid out from Ihmsen Street (today Rothman Street) to Clover Street in Swearingen's plan of lots in June 1887[1] and was extended eastward past Flach Street (today Flack Street) the following month in a plan by the St. Clair Real Estate Company.[2]
In 1901, Joseph Goldbach, Sr., laid out a plan of lots that included an unnamed 30-foot-wide street from Patterson Street (today Rinne Street) to Mellon Street (today Dengler Street).[3] This unnamed street was approximately in line with Grape Street, though the two streets did not connect.[4] It was considered part of Grape Street by 1918.[5][6]
St. Clair Borough was annexed by Pittsburgh on January 1, 1923.[7] That November, a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets in the former borough to fix duplicates. There was already a Grape Street in Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar (today Grapevine Street), so the western part of this Grape Street was changed to Topeka Street, and the eastern part was renamed Henn Street.[8]
