Notes:Glenbury Street

From Pittsburgh Streets

Source:Sidney-neff (1851) and Source:Beers (1862) show a road in the location of modern Glenbury Street. Beers shows "J. Glen" about halfway along this road—probably coincidental.

Source:Fairhaven-plan (1872): Fairhaven laid out for the Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Railroad. This plan includes Frederick Street, incorporating a part of the old road.

Source:Hopkins-1876, p. 44, shows Fairhaven, but none of the streets are labeled.

Source:Hopkins-1886, plate 19, shows Frederick Street.

Source:Hopkins-1896, plates 3 and 4, shows Fair Haven Avenue and Frederick Street (and an unnamed road).

Source:Hopkins-1905, plate 10, shows Fairhaven Avenue, Frederick Street, and Township Road.

Source:Hopkins-1916-vol-6 (revised 1922 and 1928), plate 26, shows "Frederick (Fairhaven) Ave." in the north, with "Fairhaven Ave." splitting off to the south.
