This street formerly ran from Second Avenue south to the Monongahela River, just west of today's Birmingham Bridge. It was laid out as Canton Street in E. D. Gazzam's plan of lots, recorded in 1851.[1] It appears in R. E. McGowin's map of 1852.[2]
In 1910, over 900 streets were renamed to fix duplicates. Because of the similarity with Canton Avenue in Beechview, Canton Street was changed to Canteen Street.[3]
This street does not exist today. The southern part was vacated in 1890,[4] and the remainder was vacated in 1918.[5]
