Trinity Street
From Pittsburgh Streets
(Redirected from 3rd Street (Trinity Street))
| Trinity Street | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Stanton Heights |
| Origin of name | A word that means 'three,' referring to its original name, Third Street |
| Third Street (until 1881) | |
| Origin of name | Sequential numbering in a plan of lots |
This street was laid out as Third Street in 1874 in a plan of lots for the Sharpsburg and Etna Savings Bank.[1]
In 1881 a Pittsburgh city ordinance renamed many streets to fix duplicates. There was another Third Street downtown (today the northern half of Commonwealth Place), so this street was renamed Trinity Street,[2] which preserves the notion of "three."
