Maeburn Road

From Pittsburgh Streets
Maeburn Road
Neighborhood Squirrel Hill South

This road was laid out as an alley in 1893 in the Midway plan, though that plan did not give it a name.[1] It was called Maeburn Road in the text of a contract between Thomas A. Watkins and the City of Pittsburgh specified in a city ordinance in 1923,[2] and this name was made official by another ordinance in 1924.[3]
