Bishop Street was laid out in 1871 in a plan of lots for the heirs of Samuel Garrison.[1][2] Bishop was the maiden name of Garrison's mother-in-law, Ann Sutton.[3]
Bob Regan includes "Bishop" in his "Streets of Pittsburgh" crossword puzzle, clued as "In chess a piece that can be moved diagonally over unoccupied squares of the same color."[4] Unfortunately this is just a dictionary definition of the word bishop and gives no information about the origin of the name.
