Zurich Street
From Pittsburgh Streets
| Zurich Street | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Northview Heights |
| Fate | Vacated in 1958 |
| Simon Avenue (until 1934) | |
| Origin of name | Simon Simon |
This street formerly ran east–west to the south of what is today the eastern end of Hazlett Street.[1]
It was laid out as Simon Avenue in 1913 in a plan of lots by Simon Simon and Joseph Guckert, Jr.[2]
The eastern half of Northview Heights was annexed by Pittsburgh in 1931.[3] In 1934, a city ordinance renamed streets here to fix duplicates; in order to prevent confusion with Simen Avenue in Brighton Heights, Simon Avenue was changed to Zurich Street.[4]
Zurich Street was vacated in 1958.[5]
