| Elm Street (1864–1881) | |
This street appears without a name (labeled just "Street") in the 1852 map of R. E. McGowin.[1] It is labeled Elm Street in a plan of lots laid out in 1864 by Robert Wray and Augustus Hoeveler.[2] (See East Liberty Boulevard for more about Hoeveler and his brothers.)
In 1881 a city ordinance established the names of all streets in Pittsburgh and renamed many of them to fix duplicates. There was already an Elm Street in the Lower Hill District, so this street in Bloomfield was changed to Edmond Street.[3]
