Judicial Street

From Pittsburgh Streets
Judicial Street
Neighborhood Mount Washington
Origin of name Judge John H. Bailey

Judicial Street is so named because it ran alongside the home of Judge John H. Bailey, for whom Bailey Avenue is named.[1][2][3]

Modern Judicial Street was laid out in 1903 in the Grandview plan by Clifford B. Harmon,[4] though an unlabeled road in the same location appears in the 1890 and 1901 Hopkins atlases.[5][6]
