Mulhatton Street

From Pittsburgh Streets
Mulhatton Street
Neighborhood Squirrel Hill South
Mulhattan Street (until 1910)

This street was laid out as Mulhattan Street (with two A's) in 1899 in the Beacon Heights plan.[1] The spelling was changed to Mulhatton Street (with an O), perhaps inadvertently, in 1910 by a city ordinance that established the names of all thoroughfares in Pittsburgh.[2]
