Rolfe Street
From Pittsburgh Streets

|---|---|
| Neighborhood | East Hills |
| Race Street (until 1906) | |
This street was laid out as Race Street in 1892 in Peter D. and Mary E. Perchment's addition to the Borough of Brushton.[1]
After today's East Hills neighborhood was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1906,[2] the name Race Street conflicted with Race Street in Homewood North. This duplication was fixed by a city ordinance later that year, which renamed this street Rolfe Street.[3]
