2003-10-14: Source:Lowry: "During the boulevard's construction in 1895–96, it replaced St. Pierre Street, which ran for a single block between Fifth and Forbes—the same part of Bigelow that the University of Pittsburgh unsuccessfully tried to close for public space seven years ago. ¶ St. Pierre Street, named for Legardeur de St. Pierre, commandant of Fort Le Boeuf during the French and Indian War, was adjacent to St. Pierre Ravine, which ran from the end of the street into nearby Junction Hollow."
