The 1890 Hopkins atlas shows a small plan of lots on Brunot Island, laid out by F. Briggs, consisting of five named streets and three unnamed alleys.[1] These are the only streets to have ever been laid out on the island, to the best of my knowledge.
The central street in the plan, running northwest–southeast, was Jerome Street, named for Jerome Jones, who owned the land at the northwestern end of the island.[1] The other streets in the plan were Allequippa Street, Brunot Street, Front Street, and Water Street.
All of the streets in Briggs' plan disappeared by 1902, replaced by a one-mile racetrack belonging to the Matinee Club of Pittsburgh and Allegheny.[2]
