This street appears, unlabeled, in the 1830 map of Jean Barbeau and Lewis Keyon, in a plan of lots labeled "Robinson."[1] It is labeled Middle Alley in the 1852 map of R. E. McGowin.[2]
Middle Alley was renamed Race Street in 1876.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Allegheny City was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1907.[9] In 1910, over 900 streets were renamed to fix duplicates. There was another Race Street in Homewood, so Race Street on the North Side was changed to Reddour Street.[10]
