| Milroy Street (until 1910) | |
This street formerly ran below and parallel to Kemper Street. It was laid out as Milroy Street in 1903 in the Boulevard plan.[1] In 1910, three years after Pittsburgh annexed Allegheny City,[2] it was renamed Maromas Street to fix the duplication with Milroy Street on the North Side.[3] Its grade was established by a city ordinance in 1932.[4]
Maromas Street does not exist today, though it seems never to have been officially vacated.
