Barberry Street was laid out in 1942 in the Roosevelt Acres plan of lots no. 2.[1]
The name Barberry Street was first applied to what is today Diller Place: it was changed from Miller Avenue to Barberry Street in 1930,[2] the year after Lincoln Place was annexed by the City of Pittsburgh.[3] Apparently Roosevelt Acres Inc., the company that laid out the Roosevelt Acres plan, liked the name Barberry Street and wanted it for the street that ran through the center of their plan, so, a couple months after the plan was laid out, City Council passed an ordinance that changed the name of the existing Barberry Street to Diller Place,[4] soon followed by another ordinance that established the grade of the new Barberry Street in the Roosevelt Acres plan.[5]
