Notes:Greentree Road
1873-12-30: Source:Street-nomenclature: "Washington pike, Warden street to city line, Wellington avenue." This must be referring to this street, because it is called "Washington pike," but the description "Warden street to city line" matches modern Walbridge Street. It seems likely that the two Washingtons in the area were confused.
- Also Source:Ordinances-relative-to-street-improvements, 1874-01-05.
- "Greentree Road is so called because it leads to the borough of Green Tree." — Find something to cite for this?
Green Tree post office established 1844-10-10; first postmaster M. Dunlavy.
Source:Donalson: "Some famous streets of yesteryear have disappeared, the most notable being the old Blackhorse Trail, which, in 1784, was a 16-mile road that ran from Jacob Bausman's Ferry near The Point, Downtown, past the Obey House Tavern, which is still in business in the West End, to John Connor's Mill near what is now Rosslyn Farms."
Sort out the Washington Pike. Maybe there should be a separate page for this. Currently we have:
- Carson Street: Source:Frey (p. 80) and Source:Boehmig (pp. 56, 73) say it was the Washington Pike
- Greentree Road, "Pittsburgh and Washington Turnpike" and "Washington Pike"
- Warrington Avenue, "Washington Road" (maybe not the same)
- William Street, "Washington Turnpike"
