| Neighborhood | Hazelwood |
| Fate | Vacated in 1918 |
| Williams Street (until 1881) | |
| Origin of name | Thomas Williams, Jr. |
| Woodlawn Street (until 1891) | |
This former street was a continuation of Tullymet Street to the Monongahela River.
It was laid out as Williams Street in 1872 in a plan of lots for Thomas Williams, Jr.[1] This name was too similar to that of William Street in Mount Washington, so in 1881 a city ordinance changed it to Woodlawn Street.[2]
In 1891, it was renamed again to Hollywood Street[3] so that the name Woodlawn could be used for Woodlawn Avenue.
Hollywood Street was vacated in 1918.[4]
