| Fredanna Street | |
|---|---|
| Neighborhood | Lincoln Place |
| Origin of name | Modification of Frederick, an earlier name |
| McElhinny Avenue (1899–1930) | |
| Portion | Between W Way and Nollhill Street |
| Origin of name | McElhinny family |
| Frederick Street (1925–1930) | |
| Portion | South of McBride Avenue |
The main part of this street, between W Way and Nollhill Street, was laid out as McElhinny Avenue in two plans of lots by the McElhinny heirs in 1899 and 1901.[1][2]
The northern part, south of McBride Avenue, was laid out as Frederick Street in 1925 by Charles and Fred C. Degenkolb.[3]
When Lincoln Place was annexed into the city of Pittsburgh in 1929, the name Frederick Street conflicted with Frederick Street in Marshall-Shadeland. Since Frederick Street and McElhinny Avenue were in line with each other, they were both renamed Fredanna Street, a modification of the former name Frederick. This freed up the name McElhinny Avenue, which was reapplied to a street formerly called Main Street; this is modern McElhinny Avenue.[4]
